Flexible Spending Accounts
When can I submit a claim for reimbursement?
Requests for reimbursement of expenses incurred (i.e., service rendered) during the plan year from either a Medical Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending account should be submitted after the service has been provided.
Claims can be submitted at any time during the plan year while you are a participant and during the subsequent run-off period. The run-off period for your plan is specified in your Summary Plan Description (SPD).
