FSAs allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health and dependent care expenses. Each year, you must elect the annual amount you want to contribute to one or both accounts. Your contributions will be deducted pre-tax from your paycheck which can help reduce your taxable income.

Juggling Work & Family? With a Dependent Care FSA, you can use pre-tax dollars to pay for daycare, preschool, after-school programs, and even elder care. These benefits make it easier to balance family responsibilities while working or going to school full time. |
With the Commuter Benefit Plan, you can set aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to cover eligible commuting expenses. That means lower taxable income and more money in your pocket—without changing a thing about how you get to work. You could save hundreds of dollars a year just by enrolling.
You can contribute up to $325/month to your transit account.
Note: Parking and rideshare costs (such as Uber or Lyft) are not eligible expenses under this plan.
