Flexible Spending
Employees must be .5 full time equivalency or greater to be eligible for these plans.
Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
An FSA allows an employee to set aside pre-tax dollars on a plan year (7/1 - 6/30) basis to cover out-of-pocket expenses for health care or dependent care expenses. These funds are subject to a use-or-lose provision so it is important to carefully plan for the amount to be set aside.
Hood offers three types of FSAs:
- Health Care FSA
- Dependent Care FSA (to pay for child care while you (and your spouse) work
- Limited Purpose FSA
- The LPFSA can be elected only with a HDHP health plan election and cannot be used to pay medical expenses, only dental/vision)
