Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
If you elect the Consumer Choice plan with an HSA, you cannot use the Flex plan for qualified medical expenses. However, you are still eligible to participate in the Flex plan Dependent Care Spending Account and/or Adoption Assistance Spending Account. HSA dollars are yours. HSA dollars can roll over from year to year and can be taken with you when you retire or leave the city for any reason |
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
The City of Fort Worth offers three types of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) to help you save for out-of-pocket expenses. This money is deducted pre-tax, so it will lower your taxable income. These accounts are “use or lose”, meaning that you must use most of your funds by the end of the plan year or you lose the money. You will be able to carry over up to $500 of your FSA Health Account at the end of the plan year to use in the next year.
