The New FSA Rollover Provision: What You Need to Know

On October 31, 2013, the White House issued a press release and informational fact sheet announcing a major policy change relating to flexible spending accounts (FSAs) that has many positive implications for all FSA constituents – including administrators, employers and participants. The US Treasury Department has modified its FSA “use-it-or-lose-it” provision to allow a limited rollover of FSA funds:

• Effective in plan year 2014, employers that offer FSA programs will have the option of allowing participants to roll over up to $500 of unused funds at the end of the plan year.
• Effective immediately, employers that offer FSA programs that do not include a grace period will have the option of allowing employees to roll over up to $500 of unused funds at the end of the current 2013 plan year.
