Change in Status?

[Guest Flex2]

If the Spouse changes jobs and the new company doesn't offer an FSA account, but he did have one under the old company, would this be a qualifying event so the insured could now elect into her companies FSA plan?

A spouse changing jobs is a status change regardless, and it doesn't matter if the old company did or didn't have an FSA. If your spouse loses a job or if your spouse starts a new job, that is a status change, and the employee should be able to elect (or increase or decrease, if the plan documents permit) the FSA election.
