Flexible Spending Accounts

The following Flexible Spending Accounts are administered by WEX. Visit any time of day or night, 24/7 by logging in to your online account on www.wexinc.com or call 1-866-451-3399.

Flexible Spending Accounts help you pay for everyday expenses on a pre-tax basis. The FSA year is January 1 – December 31 and is a “use it or lose it” account. You have a 60-day grace period after December 31st to submit all claims that occurred during the current flex year. You are allowed a minimum of $50 up to a maximum of $640 carry-over balance into the next flex benefit year. Note that current participants must re-enroll each year in order to continue participating in the flex program.

LIMITED PURPOSE FSA
A pre-tax benefit of up to $3,050 is used to pay for eligible dental and vision care expenses only. Participants enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) are eligible to enroll in both Limited Purpose FSA and HSA plans at the same time to maximize their savings from the pre-tax contributions.
