Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSAs) allow you to set aside pretax money from your paycheck to pay for out-of-pocket health care costs.
Generally, FSAs are available to school employees who are expected to work at least 630 hours during the school year.
Need to manage your FSA?
The SEBB Program offers: an FSA and a Limited Purpose FSA. Listen to the Fund Your Future DRS podcast episode: Save on health care costs with FSA and DCAP to learn more about FSAs.
The FSA covers a wide range of health care expenses. See eligible expenses.
Use your FSA to pay for expenses for you, your spouse, or your qualified tax dependents, even if they are not enrolled in your SEBB coverage.
The Limited Purpose FSA covers only dental and vision expenses. It is intended for employees enrolled in UMP High Deductible with a health savings account (HSA). See eligible expenses.
Use your Limited Purpose FSA to pay for dental and vision services for you, your spouse, or your qualified tax dependents, even if they are not enrolled in your SEBB coverage.
2026 contributions: A minimum of $120, up to a maximum of at least $3,300 (Note: If the IRS announces a new maximum contribution limit before or during open enrollment, HCA will adopt the new IRS maximum for 2026.)
2025 contributions: A minimum of $120, up to a maximum of $3,200
Note: You cannot change your contribution amount or cancel your FSA or Limited Purpose FSA after the year starts unless a qualifying event creates a special open enrollment. Common qualifying events include birth, adoption, marriage, or divorce.
If you have not spent all the funds in your FSA by December 31, and you are still employed and didn't lose eligibility for the FSA, you may be able to take advantage of the carryover feature. Certain unspent funds may "carry over" into the following year without affecting annual maximums.
To carry over your unspent funds:
Unused funds up to $660 will carry over to the next year. Due to IRS rules, any funds above $660 will be forfeited to HCA.
You must enroll in a FSA for each plan year you want to participate. Enrollment does not automatically continue year to year. If you want to enroll, make sure to choose this benefit again during each open enrollment.

Submit the Midyear Enrollment Form to your payroll or benefits office no later than 31 days after the date you become eligible for SEBB benefits.
Submit the Change in Status Form to your payroll or benefits office no later than 60 days after you or an eligible family member has a qualifying event that creates a special open enrollment.

Visit Navia Benefit Solutions to submit claims.
When you incur an eligible expense, you can submit a claim to request reimbursement. You also can sign up for a debit card.
You can start submitting claims for eligible expenses on or after the first day of your plan year, January 1. The full amount you set aside for your FSA contribution is available on January 1.
You might be eligible to receive a $200 FSA contribution in January.
You are likely to receive this contribution if you meet all of the following criteria:
If you believe you qualify for the contribution and have not received it, contact your payroll or benefits office.
When your SEBB insurance coverage ends – or you go on unpaid leave that is not approved under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or military leave – you are no longer eligible to contribute to your FSA. Eligibility ends on the last day of the month you lose coverage or go on FMLA or military leave.
You will be able to claim expenses that happened only while you were employed, unless you are eligible to continue your FSA under SEBB Continuation Coverage. You must submit claims for reimbursement by March 31 the following year.
