Employee has a 19 year old that she claims as a dependent on her taxes. Employee's 19 yo does not live with her. Employee has paid 19 yo dependent's health insurance premiums for the next 3-6 months. Does this qualify as a reimburseable claim for my employee?
Employee would like to submit towards her 125k health care flex spending account. Please advise. Thank You.
BENEFISH
Insurance premium is expressly prohibited from reimbursement under a health FSA.

Benefish is correct regarding the elilgibility under the health FSA; however, you could amend your flex plan to create a separate account that would permit reimbursement for nonemployer sponsored health insurance premiums. Many people with children in college utilize this account for student health insurance premiums and fees.
