Due to the National Emergency declared for the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline to submit requested changes to FSA enrollments was temporarily extended* if employees experienced a qualifying life event (e.g., birth of a child, marriage, a significant change in cost of child care, etc.). Eligible employees who would like to modify their Health Care or Dependent Care FSA due to a qualifying life event occurring must complete the FSA Life Event/Election Change Form. Follow the instructions on the form for mailing or faxing it to the Employee Benefits Division, or email it to MCSC-EBD@michigan.gov. *The Federal Government has announced that the National Emergency will end on May 11, 2023. The due date to make enrollment changes because of a qualifying life event occurring after July 10, 2022, is now the later of 31 days after the qualifying life event, or August 11, 2023. |
HealthEquity recently acquired WageWorks. You will be seeing several updates specific to FSAs in the coming months to introduce you to the HealthEquity brand, including www.healthequity.com/wageworks, the member portal, emails, and other materials. When submitting a claim or contacting HealthEquityIWageWorks, you will be asked to provide an ID Code. Enter the last four digits of your employee ID number, not the last four of your social security number.
The state offers the following types of FSAs:
Health Care FSAs: These allow you to put aside payroll deducted pre-tax dollars for eligible health care expenses not covered by any medical, dental, or vision plan for you and qualifying individuals.
Dependent Care FSA: This allows you to put aside payroll deducted pre-tax dollars for eligible child and elder-care expenses for your eligible dependents, so you can attend work, find work, or attend school. Dependent Care FSAs are not Health Care FSAs for your dependents.
