Balancing Your Life and Work

Reimbursement Accounts. These accounts allow employees to contribute money on a before-tax basis to cover eligible expenses, per Internal Revenue Service guidelines. There are two accounts: The Health Care Flexible Spending Account for healthcare expenses for employees and dependents, and a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account for child care or dependents incapable of self-care.

Employees may also set aside pre-tax dollars for certain transportation and parking expenses under our Transit/Commuter Parking program.
