Reimbursement of insurance premium, with a twist.

[Guest pjagaraj]

My wife was married before. In her divorce decree, her ex-spouse is responsible for carrying the children (2) under his medical insurance plan. However, my wife will have to pay $25 per pay period (i.e. $650 per year) to her ex-husband to compensate his medical premium expenses. My wife pays from her after-tax dollars. Can this amount be considered as FSA reimbursable medical expense?

Thanks

Insurance premiums are not valid expenses for reimbursement through a Medical FSA.
