Open Enrollment for Flexible Spending Benefit
Is October 14 through November 15

The District offers a flexible benefit plan for members who want to spend pretax dollars on specific expenses. Flexible benefits started when Congress passed Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code in 1978. Section 125 allows certain qualified benefits, estimated for a given year, to be deducted directly from an employee paycheck. These deductions are taken before taxes, therefore, reducing taxable benefits. The District contracts with Sheakley to administer the benefit. Employees may utilize up to $3000 for medical expenses and $5000 for childcare per calendar year. Open enrollment for this benefit is October 14 through November 15.

For more information on flexible spending contact Risk Management at extension 2302. You may also go to the Sheakley web site: www.sheakley.com.
