TexFlex Spending Accounts

Starting in 2024, PayFlex is becoming Inspira Financial, with no major impact on current TexFlex operations.

Carryover maximums

The health care or limited-purpose FSAs allow participants at the end of Plan Year 2025 (9/1/2024 - 8/31/2025) to carry over unused funds between $25 and $640 to Plan Year 2026. You will lose any funds over $640 if you do not spend them by the end of the plan year on 8/31/2025.

New Employees

If you elect to participate as a new employee and have a health coverage waiting period, you will have a 60-day waiting period before your TexFlex health care or limited-purpose FSA will begin. Enrollment becomes active on the first day of the month following your 60th day of employment.

FSA-Health Account

Following this plan, the entire amount you pledge for the plan year is available up front, so it is like an interest- and tax-free loan that can be used for approved health care costs. The TexFlex annual maximum contribution is $3,200 for health care.

FSA-Day Care Account

This plan is used for day care for children younger than 13 or for adult family members. Following this plan, you must pay out-of-pocket for day care expenses and then file for reimbursement. The TexFlex annual maximum contribution is $5,000 for day care.

Limited Flexible Spending Accounts

Only employees enrolled in Consumer Directed HealthSelect, can enroll in a limited FSA. The limited FSA lets you set aside money on a pre-tax basis, for both you and your eligible dependents, the same way a TexFlex health care FSA does, except it is limited to dental and vision expenses so that it complies with IRS requirements.

PayFlex Debit Card

This debit card allows you to access your FSA-Health Account without having to pay for healthcare costs with cash or a credit card and then file for reimbursement. Keep all debit card receipts in case you are asked for them.

You must activate the debit card prior to use and may contact PayFlex to request additional cards. There is no charge for the TexFlex health care account debit card.

Dependent care participants are not eligible to use the debit card and will need to submit claims online, by fax, or by mail.

Submitting Claims

To submit an FSA claim visit the TexFlex website and choose Express Claims to file claims electronically.
