Guest Stacey619 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The minimum FSA contribution limit effect December 31, 2012 is $2500.00. However while reading though the IRS notices for 2012-2013 changes I came across a section titled " What Contributions are Subject to the Limits" in this section it states " Non-elective employer contributions to a health FSA generally do not count towards this limit". Does this mean if an employer is contributing $2500.00 to and employees FSA as Flex Credits for the 2013 plan year, the employee may also elected $2500.00 salary reduction contributions?.

Flyboyjohn Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes, the $2,500 limit is only on the employee elective contribution, for 2013 there's no dollar limit on the employer's non-elective contribution (flex credit). Note that in 2014 the employer's contribution will be limited to the greater of $500 or the amount of the employee's elective contribution (posibly as much as $2,500) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBurns Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 FlyboyJohn. Where did you get the information that an FSA will be limited? This is an FSA under a section 125 cafeteria plan, not an HRA.
