To Employees receiving PEBB Benefits: PEBB Medical Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) and Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP)

If you wish to enroll in or continue your Medical FSA and/or DCAP, open enrollment is the time to do it. Remember, if you are currently enrolled in the Medical FSA and/or DCAP, you must reenroll each year to continue, even if you don’t wish to change your contribution amount(s). You must enroll or reenroll no later than November 30^th for the January 1, 2016 coverage year.

The Medical FSA allows you to:

Set aside part of your paycheck, before taxes, to cover qualified medical expenses for you and your family members.

You may set aside as little as $240 or as much as $2,500 during 2016, which will be deducted from each paycheck in equal installments.

When you have qualified medical expenses, you may pay them with a Medical FSA debit card or submit claims for reimbursement.

The DCAP allows you to:

Set aside part of your paycheck, before taxes, for child or elder care expenses.

You may set aside up to $5,000 per household ($2,500 each if married and filing separate tax returns) which will be deducted in equal amounts from each paycheck.

When you incur child or elder care expenses, submit the claims for reimbursement.
