3 Flexible Spending FAQs Q. What is a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and why would I want to participate? A. An FSA is a plan that allows you to pay for qualified, unreimbursed health care (deductible, coinsurance, copays, dental, vision, prescription and certain over-the-counter items) or dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. It allows you to lower your taxable income; therefore you pay less in taxes and increase your take-home pay. There is a use it or lose it rule that applies. Q. How does the FSA work? A. There are two separate accounts: Health Care and Dependent Care. You can choose to have money payroll deducted and set aside in either or both accounts throughout the year. For 2013, estimate what you anticipate your eligible expenses will be from January 1-December 31, Base your 2013 election on your estimate. Your election will be pre-tax payroll deducted in equal installments, based on your pay frequency. Q. What is the use-it-or-lose-it rule? A. Any funds that are not used by the Plan Year deadline are lost. There is also a deadline for submitting receipts. Q. What are the deadlines for the FSA Plan Year? A. Health Care Flexible Spending: You have until March 15 of the following year to incur expenses to use up the current Plan Year s funds. Receipts must be submitted to WorkSmart Systems by April 15. For expenses incurred after December 31, 2013, you will need to pay with your personal funds and submit receipts for reimbursement. Your Benefits MasterCard accesses the current year s funds, January 1-December 31. Dependent Care Flexible Spending: Expenses must be incurred by December 31 of the Plan Year. You have until April 15 of the following year to submit receipts for reimbursement. Q. What are the minimum and maximum FSA contributions for 2013? A. Health Care Flexible Spending Account: minimum of $100/year; maximum of $2,500/year Limited Flexible Spending Account: minimum of $100/year; maximum of $2,500/year Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account: minimum of $100/year; maximum of $5,000/year Q. What if I want to change or drop my deduction during the year? A. The amount you elect to contribute stays in effect until the end of the calendar year. If you experience a qualifying event, you may be allowed to change your contribution. Contact Jennifer at WorkSmart ( or ) to see if you qualify. Q. How do I know how much money I have left in my FSA? A. You can view your account online at As a first-time user, select Participant Login.

You will then be redirected to the login page. Once you are logged in, you will be able to check your account balance, view your claim status, etc. Q. Do I have to submit receipts for my FSA purchases? A. The FSA is a qualified part of the Section 125 plan, which is governed by the IRS. In order for WorkSmart Systems to maintain its qualified status, we must follow the IRS regulations which require WorkSmart Systems to prove the pre-tax dollars are being applied toward qualified expenses. Your submission of a receipt or explanation of benefits supports that substantiation. See the above FAQ regarding the deadlines for submitting your claims. Q. Are there certain retailers where I can use my Benefits MasterCard and not have to submit a receipt to WorkSmart for substantiation to purchase prescriptions and eligible over-the-counter products? A.. If you use the following vendors, you will not have to submit a receipt to WorkSmart: CVS, Sam s Club, Jewel, Meijer, Osco, Target, Wal-Mart, Cub Foods, Kroger, Payless, and Walgreens. If you use your Benefits MasterCard at any other retailer, you will need to submit a receipt to WorkSmart Systems to substantiate the expense. Q. What is a Limited Flexible Spending Account? A. A Limited Flexible Spending Account is an option for those who are enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan/Health Savings Account. It allows the participant to set aside pre-tax money to use for unreimbursed dental and vision expenses. Medical and prescription expenses are not allowed in a Limited FSA. The use it or lose it rule applies to a Limited Health Care Flexible Spending Account as well. Additional FAQ s are answered on the Flexible Spending Account website. PAGE 1

4 The Basics of the Benefits MasterCard The WorkSmart Flexible Spending Accounts are paired with a Benefits MasterCard, offering convenient access to your available funds. Your Benefits MasterCard is a prepaid MasterCard that can be used at most merchants who sell health care products or services and accept MasterCard. Some important things to remember are: Debit or Credit? Even though your card is a debit card, you do not have a Personal Identification Number (PIN) with this card; therefore, all Benefits MasterCard transactions need to be processed as a credit card transaction. Use your card only for eligible expenses. Look inside this guide for a sample list of eligible expenses. If you are paying for health care expenses, use the card only in places where health care products and services are sold. Do not use your card to pay for past or future services. The IRS prohibits you from using this card to pay for services you received before your current coverage period, or for those you plan to receive in the future. Also, your card will access funds for the current Plan Year. Each time you use your card, you authorize that you are paying for eligible expenses. These expenses may be incurred by you or an eligible dependent during your current coverage period. Also, you agree that you have not and will not seek reimbursement for those expenses from any other health plan or source. Save all receipts that specifically describe the item or service you paid for with your card. For many expenses, you will be responsible for submitting receipts to document that your card was used for an eligible expense. Ineligible expenditures require account reimbursement. If you have used your card for an ineligible expense or if you fail to submit a required receipt for an eligible expense, you will be responsible for reimbursing your account for the amount of the ineligible/unsubstantiated expense. IRS regulations require that all Health Care and Dependent Care FSA disbursements be properly documented. Always save your receipts!

The IRS does not allow you to use your Health Care FSA funds to pay for services received before your current coverage period, or that you will receive in the future. You may use the Benefits MasterCard as of your effective date, through December 31 st of the year in which you enroll in the plan. If you elect to participate in the FSA for the subsequent year, your card will be active with access to your designation for the new plan year. Where can you use the card? Doctor and dentist offices Pharmacies Discount chain and club stores At most merchants who sell health care products or services and accept MasterCard Who can use your card? You will automatically receive one card, in your name, for your own use. You may authorize additional users and a card will be issued in the name of each person you authorize.

Or call or toll-free at * Your FSA can reimburse you for expenses incurred between January 1 and March 15 based on your enrollment for the previous year, and provided you are an active employee. This must be done by a manual claim since the Benefits MasterCard can access only current year funds. PAGE 3

6 Health Care Flexible Spending Account Get reimbursed from your Health Care FSA for eligible expenses paid out-of-pocket. When to use your FSA: Some expenses are easier to pay with personal funds and then request reimbursement. For example: For a service that occurs within your enrollment period, but requires that you pay for the service in advance. You will pay for the service(s) as required by the provider and then submit a request for reimbursement from your FSA once you have received the service. If your provider does not accept MasterCard, you will need to pay with your personal funds and request reimbursement. If the expense is listed as a Maybe in the Health Care Expense list (see pages 6-8) and requires additional information for approval. How to use your FSA: Pay for your eligible expense as you usually do and save your itemized receipt. When you use your Benefits MasterCard, you will receive an from flex@worksmartpeo.com if you are required to submit documentation substantiating the charge.
