U.S. Flexible Spending Accounts

 

 

We know the cost of health care, dependent care, and transportation expenses can add up quickly. WWT offers you a selection of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), which allow you to pay for these expenses with pre-tax dollars and save money, too.

Through your FSA, you can set aside money on a pre-tax basis to use and/or reimburse yourself for eligible expenses. Your pre-tax contributions decrease your federal taxable income, so you pay less in taxes, and you don't pay taxes on the funds used for qualified expenses.

You must re-enroll in Flexible Spending each year during open enrollment!

Health Care FSA: The max amount is $3,050 for the 2024 calendar year. The Health Care FSA can pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses such as health, dental, prescription drug, or vision plan deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance, eyeglasses, contact lenses and hearing aids. Enrollment in WWT's Health Plan is not required to participate in the Health Care FSA.

There is also a list of eligible expenses available.

Dependent Care FSA: You can contribute up to $5,000 per household in calendar year 2024 to the Dependent Care FSA to pay for eligible dependent care expenses such as licensed day-care, preschool or childcare services.

Commuter Transit FSA: All U.S. employees (excluding Hawaii) will be eligible to enroll in employee-paid transportation up to $300 per month via Vantage. Employees can set aside pre-tax dollars to be used for eligible expenses related to bus, subway, train, trolley, meters, garages & lots, Van Pool and Ridesharing (UberPool & LyftShared).

Hawaii Employees Only: Hawaii Employees are eligible to enroll in the Parking Flexible Spending Account. Parking FSA maximum contribution is $300 per month. WWT will cover this cost but employees must enroll to participate.
