Flexible Spending Accounts

Save Taxes with a Flexible Spending Account.

Reasons to enroll in a flexible spending account

The flexible spending account (FSA) program lets you pay for certain expenses with tax-free money. When you choose to participate, you elect to have salary deducted from your paycheck, before it is taxed, and directed to your flexible spending account.

This untaxed money is then available to reimburse you for certain health care and dependent care services provided during the calendar year.
