April 15 Marks Deadline to Submit Reimbursement Claims, Documentation for 2012 Flex Spending Accounts
April 15 is the final deadline for employees enrolled in the UC’s Flexible Spending Accounts (health and/or dependent care) to submit reimbursement claim forms for eligible expenses incurred from Jan. 1, 2012 through March 15, 2013.
Please remember that if you enrolled midyear, expenses incurred before your effective date are not eligible. Expenses incurred after your participation ends also are not eligible. Documentation must be submitted when claims are filed. This includes any receipts or evidence of benefits statements that might be required to validate purchases made using a CONEXIS benefit card. All claims and paperwork must be sent to CONEXIS for processing and be postmarked by April 15.
It’s important to review previous 2012 claims to confirm that they were approved by CONEXIS and that no additional documentation is needed. Log into your CONEXIS account and select “view my prior plans” to review your 2012 account activity or call CONEXIS at 800-482-4120. Internal Revenue Service rules require you to forfeit any balance remaining after the April 15, 2013, filing deadline. Questions regarding claims should be directed to CONEXIS.
