Health Care and Dependent Day Care Reimbursement Accounts

• TexFlex is a money-saving opportunity for employees with out-of-pocket costs for: 

  • Health care - Medically necessary health care expenses for the employee (and the employee's spouse and other IRS tax return eligible dependents) such as prescription co-pays, doctor visit co-pays, etc.

  • Dependent day care - Dependent child or dependent adult day care expenses

• You can use a debit card to pay for expenses on the spot and avoid filing claims!

• You can enroll in TexFlex during your initial period of eligibility or during the annual Summer Enrollment period.  (Caution: Your eligibility period to incur expenses will end when you terminate employment.  You must continue your monthly HCRA payments for the plan year.  You have the option of: 1) combining all remaining monthly deductions into one last pre-tax payroll deduction, or 2) continuing to pay your monthly amount by personal check for the remainder of the plan year.  Reimbursement account payments made after payroll deductions have stopped will be on an after-tax basis.  Continuance of payments will extend the eligible period in which you may incur expenses.)
