How do I participate in Dependent Care when my child starts Kindergarten in the fall and will no longer need daycare?
Employees should calculate the total annual expenses for dependent care. In this case, it will be the expenses from January through the time Kindergarten begins. This annual amount will be deducted from your payroll in equal installments throughout the year. You should submit dependent care expenses as they are incurred at the beginning of the year. We will pay out reimbursement checks each month up to the amount that is currently credited to your account. Your expenses at the beginning of the year will exceed your reimbursements. After Kindergarten starts, your reimbursements will continue to be made (up to your total expenses) even though you have no expenses at that time of the year.
