Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)<br />
<strong>Jones</strong> <strong>Lang</strong> <strong>LaSalle</strong> offers employees an opportunity to pay for expenses such as childcare and healthcare expenses on a pre-tax basis through<br />
an FSA.<br />
Healthcare FSA<br />
*NEW- the annual FSA contribution limit for <strong>2013</strong> has decreased from $5,000 to $2,500. The HealthCare FSA works differently depending on which<br />
medical plan option you select. This is due to changes in the Health Care Reform laws.<br />
If you enroll in the Standard Plan option, you may use your FSA to reimburse all eligible out-of-pocket medical, dental, and vision care expenses.<br />
If you enroll in the Plus or Basic Plan, your Healthcare FSA is considered a limited purpose FSA by the IRS and may only be used to<br />
reimburse dental and vision expenses.<br />
Child/Elder (Dependent) Care FSA<br />
The Dependent Care FSA reimburses you for expenses incurred in the form of wages paid to a licensed baby sitter, licensed day care center,<br />
nursery school, adult day care center, or housekeeper caring for an eligible dependent.<br />
You will also receive a debit card for eligible expenses.<br />
If you live in the states of Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire you will not receive a Consumer Account MasterCard from UnitedHealth<br />
Care. You will need to submit claims for reimbursement through UnitedHealth Care.<br />
Use the money for…<br />
