If you are a full-time employee currently receiving the $46.15 per pay period Health Care Waiver Credit from The Met, you must re-certify and provide proof of other coverage for you and your tax dependents. Re-certification must be recorded in Workday and a copy of your health insurance id card uploaded every year.

- Enroll or re-enroll in the Health and/or Dependent Care FSA (even if you elected it for 2023)

- For the healthcare FSA, the amount you elect is available in your account up front. No unused roll over will be available into calendar year 2024 beyond the limited max allowed by the IRS ($610). The IRS has not released the rollover limit for 2025.
- For questions regarding your existing Health and or Dependent Care FSA account or balance, you can obtain your account details at www.ebpabenefits.com or by calling 888-678-3457.
