IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning January 1, 2011, FSA participants can no longer use FSA money to purchase over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and medicines (e.g. Advil, Ibuprofen, cough syrup). FSA participants may continue to use FSA funds to purchase OTC items that are not considered a drug or medicine, like bandages and reading glasses. Because our FSA plan year begins July 1st, these changes take effect in the middle of the 2010 Plan Year, so please keep this in mind as you consider how much FSA money to set aside for the upcoming plan year.
