The Postal Service wants to remind employees that flexible spending account funds can be used to pay for a variety of items.
Employees, their spouses and their dependents can use a health care flexible spending account (FSA) to pay for:
• Over-the-counter medications;
• Physical exams;
• Vaccinations;
• Dental and vision exams;
• Ice packs; and
• Adhesive bandages.
A dependent care FSA can be used for child care, before- and after-school care and day care.
The IRS determines which expenses can be reimbursed by an FSA.
The FSAFEDS website has a complete list of products and services that are eligible for reimbursement under an FSA.
