2018 Maximum Limit Updates

Recently, the IRS increased the amount participants may contribute to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or a Limited Expense Health Care FSA. For the 2018 benefit period, you can contribute up to a maximum of $2,650 - an increase of $50 from the 2017 benefit period.

The minimum annual election for each FSA remains unchanged at $100. In addition, the Dependent Care FSA maximum annual election did not change, and it remains at $5,000 per household or $2,500 if married, filing separately.
