  • Each account functions separately. You cannot transfer funds from one account to another.
  • Claims must be filed no later than April 30th of the following plan year.
  • The IRS has a strict ‘Use-It or Lose-It” rule – Unused funds will be forfeited.
  • Keep your receipts! You may be required to submit receipts to show claims eligibility.
