The state offers both a medical and a dependent care flexible spending account option to employees as a way to decrease out of pocket expenses for medical and dependent care expenses.  Under a provision of the Section 125 tax law, employees are allowed to payroll deduct a portion of their gross income on a pre-tax basis for the payment of their medical and dependent care expenses.  Using pre-tax dollars to pay for out of pocket medical and dependent care expenses can reduce your costs by 30% or more depending on your tax bracket.

Benefit debit cards are available for State flexible spending account participants. See Frequently Asked Questions for card details. To file claims by paper, participants must use the personalized Request for Reimbursement Form that is provided in their enrollment kit. Call TASC to obtain a personalized claim form if yours has been misplaced. Generic claim forms are not accepted. You can make additional copies of the Request for Reimbursement Form for future requests by logging on the TASC website at www.tasconline.com.
