as someone who was severed, i am posting on how the health flexible spending accounts worked for me. my severance crossed years and i has three months of severance in 2023. i signed up for the full amount of the fsa for 2023 knowing that i would of course only pay in for the first three months of the year. i knew i would have heavy medical in those three months and was able to receive reimbursement for the full year fsa amount even though i only paid in for the first three months-wells nets this loss against those who dont take the full benefit. the key is you can only get reimbursements for expenses incurred while you are on severance--but the fsa amount avaiable if what you sign up for for the year--not the amount you actually paid in
hope clear-- it is confusing
