Just in from SUNY Empire:
The Flex Spending Account (FSA) Open Enrollment Campaign for the 2023 plan year begins November 1 and ends December 12, 2022 at 11:59 pm ET. This deadline is strictly enforced. If you are enrolled for the 2022 plan year, you must re-enroll to continue your benefits in 2023.
The FSA program consists of three important benefits for employees:
- the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA – for at least half-time, annually paid employees only)
- the Dependent Care Advantage Account (DCAA)
- the Adoption Advantage Account
Eligible employees may choose to enroll in any or all of the accounts. This flyer includes additional information about eligibility and the available accounts. Please note, if you become inactive on payroll, your enrollment in the FSA is automatically discontinued and it is your responsibility to re-enroll when you return to active status.
To enroll, submit your application online here or by telephone at 1-800-358-7202. You will need your NYS Employee ID number, located on your paystub, to complete your application.
For questions, or more information, please call 800-358-7202 or e-mail fsa@oer.ny.gov or visit oer.ny.gov/FSA
This November, we can rally around the powerful idea that public schools unite us. We can VOTE for candidates that are pro-education and pro-labor — that will support educators, help our students, protect our rights, and advance democracy.
