125K Enrollments; both spouses employed by the same employer

[Guest myvettee]

I do not find anywhere nor have I seen in my years of administering the 125K flexible spending account, where both husband and wife employed by the same employer can or cannot be enrolled in both the spending accounts in the same plan year. (health care and dependent care. Would appreciate any comments!

As a married couple, they can not exceed the $5,000 annual per family maximum for DCA and as employees they are able to participate in the Medical FSA at the same level any other employee can.
