REF C IS THE UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE MEMORANDUM, AVAILABILITY OF DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS FOR SERVICE MEMBERS. RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN announces eligible Sailors may enroll or re- enroll in a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) during federal open season from 11 November - 9 December 2024, in line with references (a) through (c). The DCFSA is a pre-tax account used to pay for eligible dependent care services, such as preschool, day camp, before or after-school programs, and child or adult daycare. Contributions are directly deposited from pay into a DCFSA before taxes are deducted, which reduces a member's taxable income. 2. Eligibility. Active Component (AC) Service Members, to include Training and Administration of the Reserves (TAR) Sailors, and Reserve Component on Title 10 or Title 32 orders are eligible for enrollment in DCFSAs. Additionally, AC and TAR Sailors may use DCFSAs for dependent care expenses that allow Sailors and, if married, spouses to work, look for work, or attend school full-time. For complete eligibility information, see https://finred.usalearning.gov/Benefits/DCFSA. 3. Enrollment: a. Eligible Sailors may enroll in a DCFSA for the 2025 plan during the federal open season from mid-November through mid- December 2024. Enrollment will be processed by the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program at https://www.fsafeds.gov/explore/usmdcfsa. A DCFSA enables participants to contribute $100-$5,000 per household per year in pre-tax income to pay for dependent care expenses ($2,500 if married and filing separate tax returns). A DCFSA operates on a calendar year basis, starting 1 January and ending 31 December. b. Eligible Sailors may also enroll at any time in a DCFSA following a qualifying life event such as the birth or adoption of a child, a divorce, or a permanent change of station. c. Upon enrollment, the specified amount of funds will be withheld from the Sailor's biweekly paycheck beginning the 15th of the month for the effective year of eligibility (e.g., 15 January 2025) and deposited into their DCFSA. d. Funds are available in the Sailor's DCFSA after each pay period. Funds can be withdrawn to directly pay dependent care providers or to reimburse dependent care expenses paid out of pocket. For the procedures to file a claim, see https://finred.usalearning.gov/assets/downloads/FINRED-DCFSAClaims101-G.pdf. e. Contributions should be carefully planned not to exceed the total amount of qualified expenses anticipated to be incurred during the year. f. There is a grace period through 15 March following the plan year (e.g., 15 March 2026 for those that enrolled for the 2025 plan year) to incur expenses. All claims must be submitted by 30 April following the plan year. g. Unclaimed contributions will be forfeited after 30 April following the plan year (e.g., 30 April 2026 for those enrolled in the 2025 federal plan year). h. Re-enrollment. Eligible Sailors must re-enroll each year during the Federal Open Season to continue participation. A Sailor's participation will NOT automatically carry over from year to year. 4. Things to consider before you enroll in DCFSA: a. Review your family's budget and cash flow. Enrolling in a DCFSA will impact your take-home pay. b. Understand your tax benefits. Free tax software and one-on- one help from military tax experts are available to Service Members and their families. 5. DCFSA resources. Free assistance is available to help Sailors make the right decision, provide enrollment information, and understand how the DCFSA affects both their family's financial budget and tax situation. a.
