• Dependent Care account maximum is $5,000.00
  • Employees can only enroll in a TexFlex day care account if they have eligible expenses.

  • A child turning age 13 is a QLE that allows a participant to drop a day care account.
  • If you currently have a TexFlex account, or accounts and you do not make changes during annual enrollment period, your contributions will remain the same.
• If you currently have a TexFlex health care or day care account, according to IRS rules, you must spend all the money in your Plan Year 2023 account(s) by November 15, 2023 – or you’ll lose what you don’t spend.
• If you currently have a TexFlex health care or day care account any claims must be postmarked by December 31, 2023. It is strongly recommended that you do not wait until 12/31 to send claim forms in case follow-up is required for incorrect or incomplete claims.

TexFlex Funds Carryover

• You can carry over up to $610 in unused health care funds to the next plan year as long as you are an active employee on August 31. This takes the place of the 2 ½ month grace period for all health care accounts.
• Day care account funds do not carry over. They still have the 2 ½ month grace period and will not be able to carry over funds to the next plan year.
• You will still have until December 31, 2023 to submit your claim paperwork for money spent on health care by August 31, 2023 and on day care by November 15, 2023.

TexFlex Debit Card

• TexFlex debit card fee remains $15 for the year.
• Some participants may receive new cards this year because their cards will expire. Participants due to receive replacement cards will receive a new card for each of their current cards.
• Replacement cards look the same, have the same card number, and expire in five years.
• Participants will need to activate new cards before using them. Participants can activate the cards the same way they would activate any other debit or credit card.
• Each card will contain an activation label with a toll-free number.
