Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Denbright offers health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts (FSAs), administered by Paylocity, which allows you to pay for eligible health and dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. TheĀ  money contributed to your account is deducted from your paychecks before tax is taken out, so you end upĀ  with lower taxable income for the Ā year.

Health Care FSA

You can enroll in a Health Care FSA only if you are not enrolled in Denbright’s High Deductible Health Plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA). As long as you are not enrolled in the HSA, you can enroll and use the Health Care FSA to pay for Ā eligibleĀ  medical, dental, vision and other out-of-pocketĀ  health care expenses that aren’t covered by yourĀ  health plan.

You can contribute up to $3,400 for 2026.

Estimate Carefully

Once you have made your FSA election amounts,Ā  you cannot make changes during the plan yearĀ  unless you experience a qualifying family statusĀ  change.

You cannot use money from your Health Care FSAĀ  to pay for dependent care expenses, or vice versa. Keep in mind FSAs are ā€œuse-it-or-lose-itā€ accounts. You will forfeit any funds left in the account at the end of the plan year.

Commuter Benefits

TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT (TMA)

A TMA is an employer-sponsored benefit that enables employees to contribute pre-tax funds into an account to pay for work-related commuting costs. The account reimburses them for expenses like parking, buses, vanpooling, and subway or commuter train costs.

How the Program Works

You can elect to participate in this program at any time, not just during annual Open Enrollment, and set aside pretax money to cover your transportation and commuting costs.

ā– Ā  Parking — Out-of-pocket parking fees for parking meters, garages, and lots. (Parking at or near your home is not eligible.) The IRS Pre-tax limit for 2026 is $340 per month.

ā–  Mass Transit/Van Pooling — Transit passes, tokens, fare cards, vouchers or similar items entitling you to ride a mass transit vehicle to or from work. The IRS Pre-tax limit for 2026 is $340 per month.

If you spend more than the monthly IRS limit, that additional amount must be paid by you on an after–tax basis and you would enter your payment method on-line. Any money left in your commuter benefit accounts will transfer into your accounts for the following year!
