Agency Fee for Child Care

An agency fee for child care reimbursement is not eligible with a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) or a limited-purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA). An agency fee for child care reimbursement is eligible with a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA) when it must be paid for the care of a qualifying dependent and when it allows the account holder and their spouse to be gainfully employed or to be seeking gainful employment. Agency fees are only eligible for reimbursement from a DCFSA after the care is provided.
