What is the FSA deadline? All FSAs have a deadline by which funds must be spent each year. The majority of employers that offer an FSA have a December 31 deadline, which means that employees who are enrolled in the FSA may need to spend all funds by December 31 with a few exceptions, otherwise unused funds will be forfeited. This December deadline is often referred to as the "use-it-or-lose-it deadline."
