DEADLINE COMING UP FOR FLEX PLANS


A deadline for many flex plan participants is coming up.  The 2011 set-asides must be used by March 15 if the plan uses IRS’ 2½-month grace period.  Any funds left over are forfeited. The deadline for other FSAs was Dec. 31, 2011.

Remember that after this year, the ceiling on FSA set-asides will drop to $2,500.
