Now is the time to make sure you’ve submitted all your 2017 Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS) claims.
All claims for the 2017 benefit period must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday, April 30, 2018. Any 2017 claims received after this time will not be reimbursed.
The Health Care FSA and Limited Expense FSA allow you to carry over up to $500 into the 2018 benefit period. If you have more than $500 left in your account, the unused funds that aren’t carried over will be forfeited after April 30, 2018.

To be sure you haven’t missed filing any eligible expenses, just check the claims payments (including paperless reimbursement claims) in your online account against your 2017 receipts.
