Update: You May Change or Cancel Your 2020 FSA: June 11, 2020 - A revised IRS rule allows you more flexibility to change or cancel your Flexible Spending Account mid-year. For the 2020 plan year, you may drop your Dependent Care FSA and or Health Care FSA or decrease your FSA contributions. You may only decrease your annual election once during the plan year due to this revised rule.  

Please note: You may only receive reimbursements for services incurred during periods when you made contributions to your FSA. When contributions end, the PayFlex debit card is inactivated and your account is expired.
