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.

Effective July 1, 2009, a benefit debit card will be available for State flexible spending account participants. See the Benefit Card Flyer and Frequently Asked Questions for details.
