Flexible Spending Account

A Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) is a pre-tax benefit account used to pay for dependent care services, such as preschool, summer day camp, before or after school programs, and child or elder daycare. A Dependent Care FSA is a smart, simple way to save money while taking care of your loved ones so that you can continue to work.

Save Money While Taking Care of Your Loved Ones So You Can Work

Why enroll in a Dependent Care FSA?

• Save an average of 30% on eligible dependent care expenses like preschool, summer day camp, before/after school programs, child or elder daycare, and more
• Reduce your overall tax burden—funds are withdrawn from your paycheck for deposit into your account before taxes are deducted
• Take advantage of several convenient, no-hassle payment and reimbursement options

Your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) can be used to pay for eligible dependent care expenses for your eligible dependents. It’s important to understand the definition of “eligible dependent” in the context of these accounts to make sure your claims are processed and you are reimbursed for your expenses quickly. 

You can use your account to pay for the eligible dependent expenses of a qualifying child or relative, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 152. Generally speaking, a qualifying child or relative is:

• Your child under the age of 13
• Your spouse, adult relative or adult child who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care
