Important Announcement:  The 2016 Open Enrollment deadline for the Flex Spending Account has been extended. The online enrollment application was suspended beginning midnight, November 9, 2015, but will become available again on Thursday, November 19, 2015 at 12:01 a.m., ET.

How to Enroll

Eligible employees who wish to enroll for 2016 may do so by enrolling online at www.flexspend.ny.gov or calling the FSA hotline at (800) 358-7202, Option 1. Make sure you have your most recent pay stub available since you will need your Department ID and Negotiating Unit code to apply.

You have from November 19, 2015 at 12:01 a.m., ET, through 10:00 p.m. on November 24, 2015 to apply for enrollment for 2016.

If you wish to change your 2016 election amounts after you submit your application, simply submit a new application by November 24. Be sure to complete both the DCAAccount and HCSAccount sections of the application, if applicable, since the new application will replace your original application.

Confirmation Letter

If you enroll after November 9, 2015 a confirmation notice will be sent to you in late December. However, you will not have an opportunity to change your annual election after November 24, 2015 unless you have an eligible change in status so select your election amount carefully.
