Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Reminders for Participating Employees
July 27, 2015

If you are participating in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program, please review the following important reminders regarding reimbursement and TASC Card usage.

Documentation for Reimbursement 

Before submitting a request for reimbursement, make sure that you check your online account to see if documentation is required for your specific reimbursement request.

Your online account will not send you a notification regarding required documentation.  By checking to see if documentation is required before submitting a request, you will save time and make the processing of your request more efficient. 

If you have already submitted a reimbursement request without documentation and do not receive your reimbursement, check your TASC online account to see if you need to submit receipts.

TASC Card Disables Upon Termination

If you terminate employment, your TASC card is disabled and no longer available for your use.  After terminating, you can still request reimbursements.  Instead of using your TASC card, you must submit a request to be reimbursed directly from your TASC account. 

• If you did not contribute your TASC annual election upon termination:
  After terminating, you may submit for reimbursement for the remainder of the calendar year for claims accrued during your time of employment. Your services/receipts must be dated prior to your eligibility end date (the end of the month of your last contribution).  

• If you did contribute your TASC annual election upon termination:
  After terminating, you may submit for reimbursement for the remainder of the calendar year.  You may also incur claims for the remainder of the calendar year.

When a New TASC Card and ID is Issued

If you have a change in the frequency of your payroll checks (i.e., change from being paid bi-weekly to monthly) you will receive a new TASC card and ID.
