Supporting financial stability now and in the future.


Tax-Favored Spending AccountsLearn how tax-favored spending accounts can help ease the burden of medical, dental, vision, prescription, and daycare expenses.

  • Medical Flex Spending: A Medical Spending Account (MSA) allows you to set aside money from your paycheck pretax to pay for out-of-pocket health care expenses, such as copayments and coinsurance. When you pay less in taxes, you have more money in your pocket.
  • Health Savings Accounts: A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a bank account that allows you to accumulate funds pretax to pay for qualified health care expenses. You may pay for current expenses or save the funds for expenses in retirement.
  • Dependent Care Accounts: A Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) allows you to set aside money from your paycheck pretax to pay for child day care expenses and, in some cases, elder care expenses.
