Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is FSA or HRA?

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) a tax-favored program offered by employers that allows their employees to pay for qualified healthcare products and dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. An FSA/HRA gives you an immediate discount on these expenses that equals the taxes you would otherwise pay on that money.

In other words, when using FSA/HRA, you can both reduce your taxes and get more for your money by saving from 20% to more than 40% you would normally pay for out-of-pocket health care and dependent care expenses with after-tax (as opposed to taxed) dollars.
