§ 82-487. Flexible spending accounts; guidelines  


Latest version.
  • The following guidelines apply to flexible spending accounts while on leave:

    (1) Once contributions have stopped, the eligibility to participate in this program for the remainder of the year ceases. A new election can be made at the next plan year.

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

    (3) No changes in the amount contributed can be allowed. The plan document allows changes to the unreimbursed healthcare spending account only in the event of termination or death. Leave without pay is neither.

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