Smoore -- Can you direct me to more information on this? I'm considering leaving my current job, have already been reimbursed for more than I put in, and am wondering if my current employer is going to try to get that money out of me -- and if my employer can legally do this. Thanks.

If you quit your job before the end of the year but have already been reimbursed for more than you've paid in up to that point, you get to keep it.

Don't forget to use up the money in a dependent care account too. They operate the same as a flex plan and need to be spent before year end.

Both my siblings have these type of accounts and they are now sending the kids to the dentist and for eye exams to use up the rest of their funds. One of them also employs the strategy of getting over the counter items that qualify and stocking up for next year.
