New York State Flex Spending Account (FSA)

Pre Tax Benefit Plans

The Flex Spending Account (FSA) is a state employee benefit that saves you money by allowing you to pay for certain expenses with pre-tax dollars.  Under this program you can choose two benefits:

1. The Health Care Spending Account (HCS Account) lets you set aside any amount from $100 to $4,000 to pay for health care expenses that are not reimbursed by your health insurance or other benefit plan.  
2. The Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAAccount) allows your family to set aside up to $5,000 in pre-tax salary for eligible child care, elder care, or disabled dependent care expenses that are necessary for you and your spouse, if you are married, to work. 

For more details on eligibility and plan information please visit The New York State Flex Sending Account site.
