2013 Upcoming Changes

Health Care reform changes for MedFSA

The MedFSA and LFSA will have an annual cap placed on them, per participant, in the amount of $2500. The employer may elect a lesser amount.

This amount is applied per flex participant and does not apply to the dependants. Each plan participant can elect $2500. If both husband and wife enroll in a plan, both can elect the maximum amount set by the plan.
