Reminder: Dependent Care Flexible Benefit Plan Deadlines

2012 Dependent Care Enrollment Period is November 1-30
The dependent care flexible benefit plan allows you to pre-tax child, spouse or elder care expenses that you incur in order to allow you (and your spouse, if married) to work. If married, both spouses must be working to claim dependent care expenses. A dependent is defined as:

• A dependent of the employee who is under 13 years of age

• A dependent, spouse or parent who is physically or mentally disabled


The deadline for submitting your dependent care enrollment form for the 2012 plan year is November 30. Forms may be faxed to Kathy Martin at (515) 270-6562 or e-mailed to kmartin@aea11.k12.ia.us. Please follow up by sending your form with original signature to Kathy at the Johnston Administration Center.

Dependent Care Claims Reimbursement Deadline

Two dates are important to remember for employees enrolled in Heartland’s dependent care flexible benefit plan:
• All expenses for the 2011 plan year must be incurred by December 31, 2011.

• All claims for the 2011 plan year must be submitted to Kabel Business Services for reimbursement no later than 60 days after the end of the plan year. This year, the last day they will be accepted is February 29, 2012.


If you have questions about the balance you have remaining in your dependent care account, please contact Kabel Business Services at (515) 224-9400 or (800) 300-9691.
