Calhoun City Schools offers employees two separate Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA’s) – a Health Care Account and a Dependent Child Care Account.
Flexible Spending accounts provide a way for you to pay for certain unreimbursed health care and dependent child care expenses with tax-free dollars. You contribute before-tax dollars directly from your pay to either or both Flexible Spending Account. Why? Because you save money since the contributions are made before taxes — This is comparable to every dollar $1.00 you elect only affecting your take home pay by about $0.70.
2026 Plan Year Maximums
Medical FSA $3,300 with $660 Rollover
Dependent Daycare DCAP $7,500 ($3,750 married filing separately) Use it or Lose it
Here’s How It Works
- You enroll in one or both of the FSA plans during annual Open Enrollment.
- Deductions are made on a “pre-tax” basis from each paycheck in the amounts you elect to set aside.
- You incur an eligible expense.
- You pay the qualified provider with your CAS Benefits Card. It works just like a regular bank debit card, only the “bank account” consists of funds you have set aside in your Health Care or Child Care FSA accounts.
- You can access your accounts on-line to view your account transactions.
- Health Care Accounts and Child Care Accounts are completely separate. You cannot use money set aside in your Health Care account for Child Care expenses and vice versa.
