How To Enroll
During the Open Enrollment period, November 1–December 8, 2025 (11:59 p.m. ET), review your anticipated out-of-pocket health care, dependent care, and/or adoption expenses for the upcoming plan year. You may enroll in one, two, or all three FSA benefit options!
Please note: Funds cannot be transferred between accounts.
Based on your estimated expenses, decide how much of your salary to contribute to each account—this is your annual election. Your total annual election will be divided into 24 equal payroll deductions taken from your gross pay before federal, state, Social Security, and local (if applicable) taxes. The deducted funds are deposited into your FSA for use on eligible expenses.
There are no participation fees for employees enrolled in the FSA Program.
