Flexible Spending/Fitness Claims Due March 31
Claims for 2015 flexible spending accounts and the Fitness Center Reimbursement Program are due March 31, 2016.
Flexible Spending Accounts
If you had a 2015 Health Care, Limited Use Health Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), the deadline for submitting eligible expenses is Monday, March 31, 2016. Expenses must have been incurred during 2015 to be eligible for reimbursement. Under IRS regulations, you forfeit all but $500 of any money left in your account after the year's expenses have been paid.
Fitness Reimbursement (If you have unclaimed 2015 expenses)
- If you belong to a BMC onsite gym in Houston: Submit a copy of your final 2015 pay stub to YSA by March 31. Even if your monthly membership dues are deducted from your paycheck, you still need to file a claim to be reimbursed for dues.
- If you belong to an offsite fitness center: Submit your 2015 receipts to YSA for membership dues or exercise classes by March 31.
