Deadline for 2022 Flexible Spending Account Reimbursement Is April 30

Thursday, February 23, 2023, By News Staff

For faculty and staff who had a flexible spending account (FSA) through Syracuse University in 2022, the deadline to submit eligible expenses from the previous calendar year (Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2022) for reimbursement is April 30, 2023. Additionally, up to $570 in unused funds from 2022 may be rolled over to a health care FSA for use in 2023. No funds may be carried over to the following calendar year for the dependent care FSA.

Health care FSAs offer tax savings on eligible health-related expenses for faculty/staff and their eligible dependents, while dependent care FSAs offer employees the opportunity to contribute pre-tax dollars to an account to help pay for day care and related expenses for a dependent child or adult.
