Guest sphile Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 One of our participants passed away on 9/10. His wife works at the same employer & also has an Flexible Spending account. She recently received a bill from the hospital for her husband. Can she submit this claim through his FSA? Or should it be processed under her? There is still an available balance in her husband's FSA account. This is the first time I have encountered this, so I am not sure how to handle it. Any input would be great. Thanks!
GBurns Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 Well, isn't it his bill and his FSA account ? Unless your PD says otherwise why not? Didn't you issue a paycheck etc after he died? So why not an FSA check? George D. Burns Cost Reduction Strategies Burns and Associates, Inc www.costreductionstrategies.com(under construction) www.employeebenefitsstrategies.com(under construction)
Guest maya24 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I too had a participant pass away last year. We reimbursed any relevant expenses up until she passed. We looked at it like you would a termination. As long as long as the Dates of Service are up to the date deceased it would be eligible. Hope this helps
