Open Enrollment for the 2010 NYS Flex Spending Account Program begins today, September 21, 2009 and closes at midnight on November 16, 2009.
The Flex spending account program includes two important benefits for employees: the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and the Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA) and employees are allowed to enroll in either or both accounts. State employees may contribute up to $4,000 per year on a pre-tax basis through payroll deduction to the HCSA and up to $5,000 per year for the DCAA. For more information and for paperless enrollments, call 1-800-358-7202 or visit: www.flexspend.state.ny.us.
The employer contribution for employees who enroll in the DCAA is again available for the 2010 year up to $800 based on your salary.
