Mid-year change in status for Health FSA

[Guest CMarie]

Hi - can anyone confirm for me that if an employee has a baby mid-year they can then elect to participate in a health fsa account? (They have not previously participated during the year so this is not an increase to the amount they are contributing, but a new election altogether).

Thanks for your response!

Yes, I believe so, provided the plan document allows for it.
