Flexible Spending Accounts

The university offers two types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs):

  • The Health Care FSA is used to pay for most out-of-pocket medical, vision, and dental care expenses for you and your eligible dependents (e.g. office visit or prescription copays, dental expenses, vision care expenses).
  • The Dependent Care FSA is for eligible day care expenses for a dependent child age under the age of 13, or elder care for a dependent adult, while you and your spouse work (or if your spouse is a full-time student or disabled).
