I have a quick question for the esteem members of the bar. I was laid out near the end of July and all my benefits were cut off at the end of the month. One of the benefits was a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and the documentation that was sent me gave me the impression that I couldn't use the benefit credit card past the end of the month but I could still send in medical bills that were incurred as long as I submitted them by the end of October.
I had roughly $1,000 taken out of my paycheck from January to the end of July but have only submitted $850 in claims. The benefit folks at my former employer told me that I could submit viable medical expense only if the service occurred between January and July.
I told them that does not make sense and posed a hypothetical situation. Let's say I had the same $1,000 taken out of my paycheck but had not been to any medical facility not occurred any expenses from Jan-July. I was waiting for my kid's to go back to school whereas I would buy them new glasses, get them check-up, vaccines, etc. With that scenario I would be out the whole $1,000. Can someone help me out and cite what the law really states? I have a buddy who was told just the opposite and is expecting to submit bills he incurred this month. Thanks in advance.......
