Reimbursement of expenses incurred by new spouse two weeks before wedd

[Guest Darla K]

We have a client who just recently got married. She is wondering if her new spouse's expense that was incurred 2 weeks prior to the marriage is eligible for reimbursement.

Can she claim the expenses or not, since they were not married at the time of the procedure?

No, definitely nothing before the wedding. In this case, expenses incurred after the wedding date and after the date the employee signed the change in election form could be reimbursed. Notice that it doesn't necessarily go back to the wedding date. It goes back to the date the employee signed the change form.

Thank you papogi! That is what I thought.
