Grace period deadline reminders:
What is the FSA grace period? The flexible spending account (FSA) grace period is an optional deadline extension an employer can choose to offer that allows employees to incur new expenses against prior year FSA funds. The grace period is 2.5 months after the end of their plan year. For example, someone with a December 31, 2023 FSA deadline and a grace period would have until March 15, 2024 to spend down remaining funds from their 2023 FSA. While not all FSAs run on a calendar year, the grace period is always 2.5 months after the plan year end date.

What is an eligible FSA expense? FSA eligibility rules are determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Internal Revenue Code section 213(d). FSAs can be used for several services and products, including exams, clinical services, doctor visits, surgical procedures, dental care, vision care and more. To learn more about eligible products, visit the searchable eligibility list at FSA Store.
