The Flex Spending Account (FSA) offers three negotiated benefits to state employees - the Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA), the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA), and the Adoption Advantage Account.
They are types of flexible spending accounts, administered in compliance with Sections 125 and 129 of the Internal Revenue Code, that give you a way to pay your dependent care, health care, or adoption expenses with pre-tax dollars.
Enrollment in the FSA is voluntary - you decide to enroll in any or all of the benefits and choose how much to have taken out of your paycheck to pay for your eligible expenses. If you are a new employee, you must enroll within 60 days of your appointment begin date. Your FSA enrollment lasts for only one calendar year. Re-enrollment is not automatic.
