Enrollment for 2019 Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) is now open for eligible University of Delaware employees. The enrollment period will end Nov. 19.

FSAs are voluntary accounts through which UD employees can set aside pre-tax dollars to cover out-of-pocket health care and day care expenses. Visit the Human Resources website for details about FSAs.

The maximum annual amount that can be contributed is $2,650 per employee for the health care account and $5,000 per family for the dependent care account.

Please keep the following in mind when deciding how much to set aside in your FSA:

      - FSAs do not automatically continue from year to year. You must re-enroll each year. The plan year for FSAs is January through December.

      - Carefully consider the FSA contribution level appropriate for you and your family; any balance not used during the plan year and subsequent grace period (2.5 months) will be forfeited.

The Human Resources staff is available to help with any questions about FSA enrollment. Employees can reach a benefits representative by emailing hrhelp@udel.edu.

Go mobile: Participants can file claims on the go and access account statements 24/7 with the ASIFlex Mobile App. The app is available at asiflex.com, Google play or the App Store.
