Benefits At a Glance
The Langdale Company offers employees two Flexible Spending Accounts. The Medical FSA Account and the Dependent Child Care Account provide a way to pay for certain unreimbursed health care and dependent child care expenses with tax-free dollars. You save money because these contributions are made before taxes are deducted. These pre-tax dollars are then used to pay for eligible expenses.
For the 2025 plan year, Medical FSA Maximum is $3,300. Rollover for 2025 is $660.
Dependent daycare maximum is $5,000 for working married couples filing joint taxes, $2500 if filing separate returns.
REMINDER
Elections must be re-enrolled each year to continue to participate. Participants should keep your Flex MasterCard™ because the card will be reloaded for the following Plan Year elections.
Plan Updates
Over the Counter Medications are now FSA eligible, including Menstrual Products, without a prescription! You will be required to submit a reimbursement receipt if using your FSA Debit Card at a Pharmacy or Grocery Store for these products!

How it Works
- Medical Care Flexible Spending Accounts and Dependent Child Care Accounts are completely separate. You can not use money set aside in your Medical Care account for Child Care expenses and vice versa.
- 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 Debit Card
- Works just like a regular bank debit card, only the “bank account” consists of funds you have set aside in your FSA accounts.
- If your Childcare Provider accepts MasterCard, you can pay incurred childcare expenses with your card.
- If an eligible provider does not accept MasterCard then you simply file a paper claim for reimbursement
- You can access your accounts on-line to view your account transactions
Receipts
Even if you use your BankCard to pay an expense, YOU ARE REQUIRED BY IRS TO MAINTAIN AND SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS AND DOCUMENTATION OF EACH EXPENSE. (Receipts or documentation must include the name of the provider; the name of the person for which the expense was incurred; the nature of the expense, to verify its necessity; the date the expense was incurred; and the amount of the expense not eligible to be paid by insurance).Certain expenses equal to medical or dental co-pays will be automatically adjudicated without receipts. After you have used your card, MedCom will contact you to provide receipts if necessary. Save your receipts and be ready to present them when asked.

Please note that you must use your MedCom Card as “CREDIT” not debit when purchasing qualifying expenses.
Recurring Expenses
If you have a regular recurring expense in the same amount, you can have this amount and charge approved automatically without having to provide a receipt to substantiate the charge each time it is incurred. A Recurring Reimbursement Form must be completed and submitted to MedCom with one of your receipts.
Eligible expenses must have been incurred during the plan year and claims must be filed within 90 days after the end of the plan year.
