Eligible Expenses Change: Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA)
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act permanently reinstated over-the-counter products as eligible expenses for Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) funds without a prescription. Menstrual care products were also added as eligible expenses as part of the legislation.
These changes takes place retroactive to January 1, 2020 so this means you can seek reimbursement from your accounts, if you so choose, for eligible expenses that you may have already paid for using out-of-pocket dollars since January.
