Tips

💡

Keep track of your expenses throughout the year to make it easier to submit claims and avoid accidentally overestimating your expenses.

💡

Consider using a third-party app or tool to help you track your flexible spending account balance and expenses, as this can make it easier to stay on top of your funds.

💡

If you're not sure whether a specific expense is eligible under your plan, reach out to your employer or plan administrator for clarification before submitting a claim.
