Reimbursement Accounts

Updated 2/28/13

Reimbursement Accounts can be established to help use pre-tax dollars to pay for certain non-reimbursed health care expenses and dependent care expenses while the employee is working. These are individual accounts, not group insurance plans.

Reimbursement Accounts are used to reimburse the employee for any eligible non- reimbursed health care or dependent care expenses for the employee, their spouse, domestic partner, or any dependents claimed on the employee's federal income tax return.

Flex credits can be deposited in the personal flexible medical reimbursement account, dependent care reimbursement account, or both, in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines. In addition, the employee may direct a portion of the employee’s salary be deposited in either account, per IRS guidelines.

Proof of payment for non-reimbursed expenditures must be submitted to the Human Resources Office in order to receive reimbursement from the reimbursement accounts.

Please contact the Human Resources Office for more information.
