Healthcare Accounts
Healthcare spending accounts are established to reimburse you for eligible, out-of-pocket healthcare expenses for you and your covered dependents. These accounts are funded through scheduled payroll deductions and last for the duration of one plan year. Holy Cross designates the year as Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. The maximum amount you are allowed to contribute to your account is $2,750.
Dependent Care Accounts
Dependent care spending accounts are established to reimburse you for eligible, dependent care expenses. Eligible expenses include dependent care expenses for children under age 13, a disabled spouse, and/or a disabled relative or household member who depends on you for at least half of his or her support. These expenses must be necessary so that you, and, if you are married, your spouse can work. These accounts are also funded through scheduled payroll deductions and last for the duration of the plan year, as stated above. The IRS will allow you to contribute a maximum of $5,000 to your dependent care spending account (the IRS limits your contribution to $2,500 if you are married and filing separately).
Information on the above-mentioned plans can also be found in section 4.30 of the College's Employee Handbook (PDF). You may also obtain more information from Human Resources.
