REIMBURSEMENTS FROM YOUR 2023 FSA
The Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program allows participants to set aside money from their paychecks pre-tax in order to pay for certain healthcare or dependent care/childcare expenses. If you enrolled either or both FSA programs for the 2023 calendar year, you can be reimbursed for eligible expenses using your tax-free funds.
2023 DEPENDENT CARE FSA:
For 2023 Dependent Care FSAs, members were able to contribute up to $5000 tax-free to their FSA, which they can use to reimburse themselves with tax-free funds for childcare expenses or other eligible dependent care expenses.
- You have until March 15, 2024 to incur eligible dependent care expenses using your 2023 FSA account, and you have until March 31, 2024 to request reimbursement for 2023 expenses. Unused funds will be forfeited.
- VOYA Financial (Harvard’s claims administrator) is largely remote, so they encourage you to use their online portal and/or email to fill out and submit the Dependent Care FSA claim form. Generally daycare, afterschool care, preschool, pre-K, daytime summer camps, babysitters, nannies, and similar caregivers and programs are eligible for reimbursement. However, VOYA will not reimburse for kindergarten fees, elementary school fees, or overnight camps. Click here to see a longer list of eligible programs and care providers.
