Questions and answers

Just like with a health care FSA, your day care FSA will reimburse you for your eligible day care expenses after you incur them. You file a claim with FSAFEDS for your day care expenses, attach your receipts or your provider’s signed certification, and FSAFEDS will reimburse valid claims electronically into your checking or savings account. More information is available at www.FSAFEDS.com.
