Eagles Open Enrollment Info Brochure (PDF)

If you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan with a Health Savings Account for your 2024 health insurance plan, you cannot enroll in a flexible spending account. You may still enroll in a dependent care account.

Flex Spending and Dependent Care accounts allow you to set aside a certain amount of each paycheck into an account on a pre-tax basis. The minimum annual election for the Flex Spending account is $250.00 while the maximum annual election amount for the Flex Spending account is $2,750.00. The maximum annual election for the Dependent Care account is $5,000.00.

Medical Reimbursement Account: MRA is an IRS approved plan that allows employees to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for Medical Expenses. Some of the medical expenses that are eligible to be reimbursed include: deductibles, co-payments, prescriptions, mental health care, orthodontist, dental expenses, chiropractor services and vision expenses including eye exams, glasses and contacts.

By paying for your out of pocket medical expenses with pre-tax dollars, the average employee will save approximately 23% to 25%. Also, employees have access to the money they put in the FSA as of January 1, 2024. For example, if you elect to put $600.00 into the FSA, you have access to the $600.00 on January 1st, before any deductions are withheld.

Dependent Care Account: DCA allows you to pay for daycare expenses for eligible children and adults on a pre-tax basis. Qualified expenses include adult and child daycare centers, preschool and before/after school care. Employees who enroll in this plan are able to pay daycare expenses with pre-tax income resulting in savings of approximately 25% of the daycare costs.
