You should assess your needs carefully for both the medical care and dependent care flexible spending accounts and take advantage of all the tax savings you can reasonably estimate.
For the plan year 2023, up to $570 of unused money in your 2022 medical care FSA account will be rolled over into your 2023 account to be used for eligible medical expenses.
The $570 rollover does not offset the 2023 election amount available. The rollover does not apply to the FSA dependent care account.
The IRS allows Cornell to extend the time that flexible spending dependent care account participants can incur and submit claims for reimbursement. For example, if your 2023 dependent care annual amount is $5,000, you have until March 15, 2023 to incur additional expenses that can be used for reimbursement against your 2022/2023 annual amount.
You need to submit 2022 account claims for reimbursement by April 30, 2023, otherwise the “use-it-or-lose-it” rule comes into effect and you will lose the unused funds. It is important that you submit 2022 claims prior to submitting 2023 claims so that your remaining 2022 monies will be exhausted prior to your 2023 monies being used.
