A flexible spending account may be a good option for Postal Service employees who wear eyeglasses, visit the dentist more than twice a year, or have other needs.
These accounts, also known as FSAs, allow employees to set aside money on a pretax basis to pay for health care and dependent care expenses.
USPS employees can enroll in an FSA during this year’s open season, which is underway through Monday, Dec. 8.
Inspira Financial is the administrator of the Postal Service’s FSA program.
For out-of-pocket expenses, employees may:
• Pay themselves back with FSA funds when they use cash, check or personal credit card for eligible expenses;
• Pay a provider directly from their FSA account; or
• Use an Inspira debit card.
To learn more about FSAs, go to the FSA page on the MyHR website’s FSA page
Employees with questions can contact Inspira Financial at 833-419-0305, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Central.
