Enroll Now for 2010 Flex Spending Accounts
Dependent Care Advantage Account
Health Care Spending Account
New York State employees can enroll in pre-tax programs to save money on eligible dependent care and unreimbursed health care expenses. The enrollment period for these programs is underway now and will end at midnight on November 16, 2009.
The Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA) allow employees to save money by paying for certain expenses through pre-tax dollars. The HCSA covers expenses not reimbursed by health insurance or other benefit plans and the DCAA covers expenses for child care, elder care, and disabled dependent care. In addition to the pre-tax savings incurred, the DCAA also provides an employer contribution that ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the UUP member’s salary. That’s money you won’t get unless you enroll in the DCAA.
To enroll, visit www.flexspend.ny.us or call 1-800-358-7202.
