Can a customer purchase a product now and apply for FSA reimbursement in the next calendar year?Updated a month ago

The ability to apply for FSA reimbursement in a future calendar year depends on the policy of the specific FSA provider. Most FSA administrators require that the purchase be made during the time of coverage. For example, if the FSA coverage is for 2025, all purchases typically need to be made and/or submitted for reimbursement within that coverage period.

However, some administrators may have more flexible rules regarding the timing of when the expense occurred. We recommend that customers review their plan policy to confirm the details.

Note: Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are different and generally allow for reimbursement at any time, even in future years.
