For Health-Care & Dependent-Care Expenses

The Flexible Spending Plan is a program that allows you to have a designated dollar amount of your paycheck put aside and held in an account until you need to use it for out-of-pocket healthcare or dependent-care expenses. The money is deducted before taxes are paid, allowing you to apply 100 percent of the money you earn and put aside toward eligible expenses.

Out-of-pocket eligible expenses

• Co-pays (physician, prescription, etc.)
• Dental expenses (co-pays or non-covered expenses)
• Vision expenses (glasses, contacts, lasik eye surgery)
• Day-care expenses (This can be more advantageous than the child-care tax credit now offered by the IRS. Other expenses are also eligible.)

More complete information about eligible expenses is available on the Manley Services web site, the organization that manages the district’s flexible spending plan.

The enrollment period for the 2010 Flexible Spending Plan is Nov. 15th – Dec. 15th, 2009.
