How long can participants submit FSA claims for their adult dependents?
Participants can submit FSA claims for eligible expenses incurred by their adult dependents on or after March 30, 2010, through the end of the calendar year in which the dependent turns 26. Adult dependents no longer need to live with parents, attend school, or be a dependent for tax purposes. In addition, the dependent can be married; however, the spouse is not eligible. For example, Jane is a participant in her company’s 2011 health FSA plan. She has a son who turns 26 on December 15, 2011. Because her son is considered an adult dependent through the end of the calendar year in which he turns 26, Jane can continue to submit expenses through the end of 2011 for her adult dependent son’s expenses.
