October 7, 2019

The New York State Flex Spending Account (Health Care Spending Account, Dependent Care Advantage Account, and Adoption Advantage Account) open enrollment for 2020 runs now through 11/8, 2019. The program is a state employee benefit that saves you money by allowing you to pay for certain expenses with pre-tax dollars.

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.

The Adoption Advantage Account lets you pay with pre-tax dollars for expenses related to the adoption of an eligible child.
