What Qualified Life Events apply to Medical and/or Dependent Care Reimbursement Accounts?
Some status or life change events also allow you to make changes (or make a new election) to a Medical and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA’s). Some examples include:
- The birth or adoption of a child allows you to increase or elect a new Medical FSA. You must make the change within 30 days of the birth/adoption and the increase or new election will be effective on the date your child was born or adopted.
- If your child starts at a new daycare center or provider, you can begin or increase (if the cost of the new provider increases) your Dependent Care FSA. You must make the change within 30 days of the beginning of the new daycare and the change is effective the 1st of the month on or following the event date.
- If your child’s daycare ends or the hours are reduced, you can end or decrease your Dependent Care FSA. You must make the change within 30 days of the end of the daycare and the change is effective the 1st of the month on or following the event date.
