FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA)

How to use your FSA

Step 1: Determine how much money you need to set aside on an annual basis. Be sure to check the maximum and minimum amounts the plan allows. Be conservative, if it is your first time enrolling in a FSA plan.

Use the FSA calculator to estimate your FSA contribution and potential tax savings (link opens new window).

Step 2: The District will deduct the amount you elect from your pay on a pre-tax basis in equal monthly amounts for the remaining number of pay periods in the plan year.

Step 3: When you have eligible expenses, pay them out of your pocket and don't forget to get an itemized receipt or EOB (Explanation of Benefits) statement.

Step 4: Submit a claim for reimbursement to SHPS, Inc. by fax or mail:

  1. Via fax at (502) 267-2233
  2. Via mail to:

    SHPS FSA Administration
    P.O. Box 34700
    Louisville, KY 40232-4700
