Flex Spending Account Open Enrollment Campaign
Open enrollment
October 5 to November 9, 2015

The New York State Flex Spending Account (the Health Care Spending Account and the Dependent Care Advantage Account) open enrollment period for 2015 runs from October 5, 2015 to November 9, 2015.

This program is a state employee benefit that saves you money by allowing you to pay for certain expenses with pre-tax dollars. The Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) lets you set aside from $100 to $2,550 annually to pay for health care expenses that are not reimbursed by your health insurance or other benefit plan. The Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA) lets you set aside up to $5,000 in pre-tax dollars for eligible child care, elder care, or disabled-dependent care expenses that are necessary for you and your spouse, if you are married, to work. For information about the program, employer contribution, or to enroll, visit the website at www.flexspend.ny.gov or call the Flex Spending Account number at 1-800-358-7202. You will need your NYS EMPLID number, which is on your pay stub, to complete your application.
