Reimbursement Account Claim (REIM)

The Reimbursement Account Claim (REIM) transaction allows you to reimburse eligible out-of-pocket health care and dependent care expenses under Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) regulations.

FSAs allow employees to pay for certain expenses such as medical, dental, vision, or dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars.  Prior to the beginning of each plan year, employees select the amount of salary reduction dollars or flexible credits they wish to allocate to an FSA.  Such amounts are then used by the employer to reimburse employees for Qualified Expenses incurred during the plan year.

Employees may contribute part of their pre-tax salary towards these accounts and receive reimbursements for health and dependent care throughout the plan year and may submit claims against the account after the plan year has ended.
