WHEN YOUR MONEY IS AVAILABLE
Money in your Dependent Care FSA is available only after it has been deducted from your pay. Your account works like a checking account that you pay into every pay period, so you can only spend as much as you have contributed to date.
You must use all the money in your account during the Plan year. Per IRS rules, you forfeit any money remaining in your Dependent Care FSA at the end of the Plan year.
