Can I change my Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account election during the year?
You may be able to make a change to your Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account election during the plan year if you have a qualified family status change. All changes must be made within 30 calendar days following the qualified family status event, and the effective date of the change will be the date of the qualified family status event. Refer to the Life Events section of the Benefits Handbook for information on qualified events.
Mid-year increases in your annual contribution amount be due to, and consistent with, the qualified family status change and then only used for eligible health care expenses incurred on or after the effective date of the change. You may not increase your annual contribution amount to request reimbursement for expenses that were incurred prior to the effective date of the change.
