As the year draws to a close, it may be time to use up that money you set aside in your flexible spending account before it's too late.
Flexible spending accounts are an option provided by employers for setting aside pre-taxed income that can be used for anticipated health expenses. These expenses can be quite varied, and may include office copayments, medications, or equipment used to treat sleep disorders. Unfortunately, any money that is not used by the end of the year is lost.
So if you have money sitting in your flexible spending account waiting to be used, now is the time to act.
