“Use It or Lose It” Rule
The DCAP and MEDFLEX are subject to the IRS’ “use it or lose it” rule, which means that amounts set aside in these tax-free accounts will be forfeited if they are not used for eligible expenses during the Plan Year. Employees should carefully determine the amount to set aside.
DCAP participants must submit claims for eligible dependent care expenses incurred during calendar year 2023 no later than March 31, 2024. Unused balances will be forfeited after the run-out period ends.
MEDFLEX participants must submit claims for eligible medical expenses incurred during calendar year 2023 by March 31, 2024. MEDFLEX participants can carry over up to $570 in unused funds to be used for eligible expenses in the following plan year if still employed. Unused funds in excess of $570 will be forfeited after the run-out period ends on March 31, 2024.
