If You’re Laid Off

• FlexElect

Your enrollment in a FlexElect reimbursement account ends if you leave State employment.

However, if you have a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account, you may submit claims for eligible expenses incurred after you’re laid off if there are funds remaining in your account. You’ll need to submit your claims by the normal deadline.

If you have a Medical Reimbursement Account, you may only submit claims for expenses incurred while you’re a State employee. If you have money remaining in your account after you’re laid off, you may continue to claim reimbursement for eligible expenses if you continue your Medical Reimbursement Account through COBRA. If you exercise this option, you make monthly contributions to your FlexElect account on an after-tax basis; you may reduce contributions to the minimum level of $10. You’ll need to submit reimbursement claims by the normal deadline.
