Discover Eligible FSAFEDS DCFSA Expenses

Are your little ones ready for summer? The Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS) Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) can help make sure they are. If you are thinking about summer day camps, spots fill quickly so now is the time to register.

The DCFSA covers a wide range of services to make sure your loved ones receive the care they deserve while you are at work. Do not forget the DCFSA also covers non-medical supervision for adult dependents unable to care for themselves.

Reminder
You can enroll in a 2026 Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) or change your current DCFSA elections if you experience a qualifying life event (QLE), such as a change in child care or adult care provider, a change in cost, or a change in coverage. Don���t forget, the IRS increased the DCFSA annual election to $7,500 (per household), beginning this year. This means you could save up to $2,250 each year on dependent care expenses like preschool, child or elder daycare, after-school programs, and more!*
