    Flexible Spending and Health Reimbursement (Wellness Rewards) Accounts

    The County of Summit offers employees a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program. These accounts set aside funds, on a pre-tax basis, through payroll deduction, to pay eligible out-of-pocket medical, dental, and dependent care costs. Participating employees are issued a debit card to make payments for eligible items or employees can file paper claims.

    The Flexible Spending Account program is administered by TASC. If you have questions or concerns about your account, please contact TASC at (800) 422-4661 or www.tasconline.com.


    Health Savings Account

    The Maximum Value Plan health plan also offers a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA is a personal savings account you can use to pay for qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses with pretax dollars. Both you (through pretax funds from your paycheck) and the county (through Virgin Pulse wellness dollars) can make contributions to your account, but you own and control the account.

    Contributions are not taxed, and you can invest the balance in a variety of options. Your account (including interest and investment earnings) grows tax-free and if the funds are used to pay for qualified medical expenses, they are spent tax-free. The 2025 HSA contributions limits are $4,300 for single coverage and $8,550 for family coverage. Eligible individuals age 55 or older by the end of the tax year may increase their contribution limit up to $1,000. These contribution totals include Employer Contributions and earnings for participation in the County of Summit's Wellness Program.

    You can use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses now or in the future. Your HSA can be used for your expenses and those of your spouse and dependents even if they are not covered on the HDHP.

    You are eligible to open and fund an HSA if you:

    • Are enrolled in an HSA-Eligible HDHP
    • Are not covered by other non-high deductible health plans, such as your spouse’s health plan, Health Care Flexible Spending Account, or Health Reimbursement Account
    • Are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
    • Are not enrolled in Medicare
    • Have not received Veterans Administration benefits
