To Faculty and Staff:
We are pleased to announce the 2023 open enrollment campaign for the New York State
Flex Spending Account (FSA) will run from November 1, 2022 to December 12, 2022.
The FSA, a program negotiated between the State and its public employee unions, consists
of three important benefits for employees -- the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA),
the Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA), and the Adoption Advantage Account. Eligible
employees may choose to enroll in any or all of the accounts.
For the 2023 plan year, employees may contribute up to $3,050 through pre-tax payroll
deductions to the HCSA for eligible health care expenses that are not covered by a
health insurance plan. In addition, employees may contribute up to $5,000 per year
per household to a DCAA for elder care, disabled dependent care, or child care expenses.
Lastly, employees may contribute pre-tax dollars to the Adoption Advantage Account
for expenses related to the adoption of an eligible child. Contributions are deducted
biweekly from an employee’s gross pay and deposited into the appropriate account.
Additional information can be found here. If you have any questions regarding the FSA, please contact fsa@oer.ny.gov.
