FSA Store shares 10 quick spending tips and more than 2,500 guaranteed-eligible ways to spend FSA dollars to treat yourself and protect your everyday health
DALLAS, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Before you start making those New Year's resolutions, be sure to check this important item off your 2023 to-do list: Spend all remaining flexible spending account (FSA) funds before the December 31 use-it-or-lose-it deadline. To simplify this process for the 35 million Americans who are enrolled in these spending accounts, FSA Store® is sharing 10 surprising ways to spend tax-free FSA dollars in the final days of 2023.
"An FSA is a valuable financial and healthcare tool. Unfortunately, the average account holder forfeited more than $300 in unused funds last year, all because they were not aware of the deadline and how they could use those dollars," said Rachel Rouleau, chief compliance officer for Health-E Commerce®, the parent brand to FSA Store. "FSA Store helps to solve this problem with our guaranteed-eligible shopping experience and shopper education. Unlike other online retailers, we also ensure that purchases are deducted from the account holder's 2023 funds by processing transactions at the time of purchase, not at the time of shipping."
According to Rouleau, this is critical for consumers who need to spend funds within the calendar year in order to avoid a forfeiture. For example, if a purchase is made on FSA Store at 11:30 p.m. on December 31, those funds are charged to the FSA debit card at that time, ensuring that they are deducted from the individual's 2023 FSA funds. If that same purchase is made on other online retail sites, the funds are most likely charged to the FSA when the order ships, which in this case, would be 2024.
