Flexible benefits plan (Section 125)
Dedicated to the educational community At Horace Mann, we believe educators are
taking care of our children's future, and we
need to take care of theirs. While other
companies may offer similar products and
services, ours are designed specifically to provide educators
the peace of mind they deserve through a lifetime of
changing needs - both in and out of the classroom.
What is an FSA? An FSA is a Flexible Spending Account that allows you to set aside money for eligible expenses on a pre-tax basis. There are two types of Flexible Spending Accounts available: a healthcare account and a dependent day care account.
An FSA is a smart way to save! An FSA can help reduce your taxes and increase your take-home pay - giving you extra dollars for the things you really want.
$1,500 $315.00
$1,750 $367.50
$2,000 $420.00
For purposes of this illustration, a savings of 21 % was used and assumes federal, state, and Social Security taxes. Actual tax savings depend on several variables including state and local tax rates and the tax bracket of the participant.

Healthcare accounts A healthcare account reimburses you for out-of-pocket medical, dental, prescription or vision services, such as deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance and over-the-counter items. However, medicines and drugs require a written prescription from your doctor (OTC) OTC in order to get reimbursed.
Healthcare expenses must be for services received after the effective date of your FSA election and during the plan year to which it applies.
Individuals allowed to use your healthcare FSA contribution generally include your spouse and children you are entitled to claim as dependents on your federal tax return. This includes a child who is younger than age 19, or under age 24 and a full-time student, and a child of any age who is permanently and totally disabled. In addition, your child under the age of 27 may also be allowed to use your FSA dollars, if this feature is part of your plan.
All expenses must be for services received, not for services to be provided in the future. In addition, expenses cannot have been reimbursed and must not be reimbursable by insurance or any other source.
You cannot claim the same expenses as a deduction on your annual income-tax return.

Determining your contribution Start by reviewing your expenses from the prior plan year using the table below. Then estimate the amount that you will incur for eligible healthcare expenses during the plan year. The amount that will be deducted from your paycheck each pay period can be determined by dividing your annual contribution by the number of pay periods (e.g., 12, 24 or 26) in your plan year.
