A flexible spending account may be a good option for Postal Service employees who wear eyeglasses, visit the dentist more than twice a year, or have other needs.
Flexible spending accounts, or FSAs, allow employees to set aside money on a pretax basis to pay for health care and dependent care expenses.
USPS employees can enroll in an FSA during this year’s open season, which is underway through Monday, Dec. 9.
In 2025, Inspira Financial will replace FSAFEDS as the administrator of the Postal Service’s FSA program.
Inspira will offer a debit card option to pay for eligible expenses. Employees may also pay for out-of-pocket expenses by:
• Paying themselves back with funds from an FSA when they use cash, a check or a personal credit card;
• Paying a provider directly from their account; or
• Using their Inspira card.
To learn more about FSAs, employees should go to the MyHR website’s open season page.
Employees with questions can call Inspira at 833-419-0305, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Central
