Pretax Benefit Plans
Dependent Care Advantage Account
(http://www.flexspend.state.ny.us/2002/dcaa.asp)
All employees are eligible to participate in the dependent care advantage account. Under this plan participating employees contribute a portion of their salary on a pre-tax basis (maximum of $5000) to a flexible spending account to pay for expenses incurred for dependent care. Some bargaining units contribute additional funds to individual accounts. Generally a qualifying dependent is a person who:
- qualifies as a dependent on your federal tax return, and
- in the case of a family member, is a child under the age of 13, or an individual physically or mentally incapable of self care.
