This is the last week to sign up for the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for 2004.
This program is new to WSU employees. It allows the permanent staff and faculty (appointed nine months or longer) to stretch their earning power by completing the enrollment paperwork by Nov. 30.
Un-reimbursed health-related expenses such as deductibles for medical and dental, co-payments, prescription and over-the-counter medications such as allergy and cold remedies, pain relievers, first aid kits and most vision hardware costs qualify.
Such out of pocket costs can be reimbursed to you with pre-taxed dollars by setting dollars aside on a reductive, or pre-tax, basis in the FSA.
For information, please see the brochure on the Benefit Services web site http://www.wsu.edu/benefits and look under Hot Topics on the right hand side of your screen or call Jan Rauk directly at 335-2523.
