§ 82-338. Suspended flexible spending account guidelines

The following guidelines apply to suspended flexible spending accounts while on FMLA:

(1) If the employee chooses to stop his/her contribution during the period of leave, contributions will begin again when the employee returns from leave.

(2) No changes in the amount contributed can be allowed unless consistent with qualifying life event (for example in the case of a birth, one can increase the amount).

(3) Reimbursements will be made only for expenses incurred during the time contributions are made. Advance payments can continue to be made.

(4) If an employee chooses to continue to make contributions during the leave without pay on a post-tax basis, the pre-tax election will be continued upon resumption of full-time work.

(5) If an employee chooses, a prepayment payroll deduction (pre-tax) can be arranged.
