FSA Rollover (Carryover)
Employers may offer employees the option of rolling over a portion of their remaining Health FSA balance each year, to be used in the same type of plan during the following plan year. The final balance that is available for rollover will be determined after the current plan year’s claim submission deadline.
COVID-19 Note: The Rollover provision is normally not available for Dependent Care FSA, but due to COVID relief legislation that was passed in 2021, Rollover has been made available on a temporary basis for unused Dependent Care FSA funds from the 2020 and 2021 plan years only (if the employer opted in for it). This temporary measure will not apply to 2022 Dependent Care FSA funds.
2021 Rollover into 2022 Plan Year:
Full balance remaining in 2021 Health FSA and/or 2021 Dependent Care FSA
2022 Rollover into 2023 Plan Year:
Health FSA - Up to $570 of remaining 2022 balance
Dependent Care FSA - Rollover not allowed
