March 31 Deadline for 2021 FSA Claims
March 15, 2022
March 31, 2022 is the deadline to submit and substantiate your 2021 Flexible Spending Account (FSA) claims. To be reimbursed for out-of-pocket health care, dependent day care, or parking and transit expenses from your 2021 FSA, you must have incurred eligible expenses by December 31, 2021.
An FSA allows you to be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses with tax-free dollars. Since these are spending accounts, the money is intended to be spent. Below are the eligible expense lists.
How to Submit Eligible Expenses for Reimbursement
The most efficient way to submit your eligible expenses for reimbursement is electronically by using Optum Financial’s mobile app or website.
Include the required IRS supporting documentation with your submission. Optum Financial will contact you directly when additional information is needed. Remember, all claims must be submitted and substantiated by March 31, 2022.
