The following information is from Jetwire 3/18/24 and my.aa.com

What’s new: If you had a flexible spending account in 2023, you have until March 31, 2024, to submit claims to be reimbursed for eligible expenses incurred during the 2023 plan year.

• If you had a health care flexible spending account (HCFSA) or limited purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA), you can submit expenses incurred between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2023.

• If you have a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA), you can submit expenses incurred between Jan. 1, 2023, and March 15, 2024.

Why it matters: Requesting reimbursement by the deadline is a great way to cover the cost of eligible health care and dependent care expenses. After March 31, you will no longer be able to request reimbursement for any 2023 expenses. 

What’s next: The easiest way to file a reimbursement claim is to visit the Benefits Service Center through my.aa.com. You can also take a look at the different ways you can be reimbursed on Jetnet.
