Your Flexible Spending Account 您的灵活支出账户
An FSA lets you set aside money from your pay before tax to pay for health care and dependent care. The main sign-up is open enrollment every December: you choose an amount, your election takes effect January 1, and the amount is deducted from each paycheck, tax-free, to use during the year for eligible expenses. New hires can enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible, starting the first of the following month, and if you have a life event — marriage, a new baby, or a spouse's job or coverage change — you can enroll or change your election within 30 days of the event. 灵活支出账户(FSA)让您从工资中以税前方式留出一笔钱,用于支付医疗和受抚养人护理费用。主要报名时间是每年12月的开放申报期:您选择金额,申报于1月1日生效,金额从每次工资中以免税方式扣除,供您在年内用于符合条件的费用。新员工可在符合资格后30天内报名,自次月1日起生效;如果您遇到生活事件——结婚、新生儿、配偶工作或保险变更——可在事件发生后30天内报名或更改申报。

How it works · 如何使用
- Enroll as soon as you are eligible. Open enrollment is in December each year: sign up then, choose how much to set aside, and your election takes effect January 1. New hires can enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible, starting the first of the following month. And if you have a life event during the year — marriage, a new baby, or a spouse's job or coverage change — you can enroll or change your election within 30 days of the event. The amount comes out of each paycheck before tax. 符合资格后即可报名。开放申报期在每年的12月:在此期间报名并选择要留出的金额,申报于1月1日生效。新员工可在符合资格后30天内报名,自次月1日起生效。如果您在年内遇到生活事件——结婚、新生儿、配偶工作或保险变更——可在事件发生后30天内报名或更改申报。金额将从每次工资中以税前方式扣除。
- Pay and keep receipts. Pay the doctor, pharmacy, or care provider, and keep the itemized receipt (provider, patient, date, service, amount). 支付并保留收据。向医生、药房或照护提供者付款,并保留详细收据(提供者、患者、日期、服务、金额)。
- Submit a claim and get reimbursed. Send your claim and receipt on this website. Approved claims are reimbursed through payroll, ordinarily within 30 days of approval. 提交索赔并获得报销。在本网站提交索赔和收据。获批的索赔通常在批准后30天内通过工资报销。
