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.

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.
