125 Flexible Spending Plan (FSA)

SRJC offers a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) IRC Section 125 Plan to all faculty, classified, and management/confidential employees. The plan has the following sub-categories:

(Not available to employees enrolled in an HSA health insurance plan.)
  • The Limited Purpose FSA allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for dental and vision expenses only. (Employees enrolled in an HSA health insurance plan may participate.)
  • The Dependent Care FSA allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible childcare and dependent care expenses, such as daycare, preschool, before/after school care, summer day camps, and adult dependent care for incapacitated adults. (Employees enrolled in an HSA health insurance plan may participate.)

This is a calendar-year plan that runs from January through December. Open enrollment takes place during October and November for coverage in the following calendar year.
