  The State of Michigan offers two types of FSAs. Health Care FSAs allow you to put aside pre-tax dollars for health care expenses not covered by any medical, dental, or vision care plan. Dependent Care FSAs allow you to put aside pre-tax dollars to cover child/elder care expenses (such as day care) for your eligible dependents so you can work. The State of Michigan will continue to offer a Grace Period for the Dependent Care FSA, from January 1st through March 15th, following the end of the current plan year. Balances remaining in the Dependent Care FSA plan may be used to reimburse eligible expenses incurred during this period. Claims must be submitted by March 31, 2021 to be applied to your 2020 account balance.
