Dependent Care (DepCare) Flexible Spending Account

Health Flexible Spending Account

This program allows you to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses on a pretax, salary reduction basis.  Some examples of eligible expenses include health plan deductibles, co- pays and some eligible over the counter medication, etc..
