Flexible spending account

[bluecloth]

I’m starting a new job and my employer is giving me an FSA account. Can I use it to pay off my medical bills which I had under older insurance?

@bluecloth No. You can only use it to pay for medical expenses incurred after it was active.

@xaustinx Thank you

@bluecloth No, the dates of service must be no earlier than your first date of employment or your eligibility date if there is a waiting period

@singingtheblues Sounds good
