No. The maximum amount allowed under a Dependent Care FSA is a household limit set by the IRS. You can each elect a Dependent Care FSA at your respective workplaces, but the total dollar amount for your household cannot exceed the annual IRS maximum ($5,000 if single or if married and filing jointly; $2,500 if married and filing a separate return).
