Do You Use Dependent Care Reimbursement? Enrollment for 2022 Ends Nov. 30!

Online enrollment for 2022 Dependent Care FSAs will be open to eligible employees from Monday, Nov. 1 through Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021, at 4 p.m. 

Full-time employees and Certified Union employees working a 96-day contract are eligible to participate. Eligible part-time CU employees with a 96-day contract must contact Juliette Houseman to enroll via paper.

 
 

Dependent Care Flex is a pre-tax benefit account used to pay for eligible dependent care services, such as preschool, summer day camp, before or after school programs and child or adult daycare 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 or spouse who is physically or mentally disabled 

The maximum amount your family may flex per calendar year is $5,000 ($208.33 per pay period). 
All dependent care expenses for the 2022 plan year must be incurred between January 2022 through Dec. 31, 2022, and must be submitted to BRI for reimbursement by March 1, 2023.
