Dependent Care Reimbursement Account

Westaff wants to provide you with the resources to use your money more effectively. Westaff employees with eligible dependents can participate in the Future Funds Dependent Care Reimbursement Account. This program supplies a tax effective way for you to pay certain dependent care costs for your qualified dependents (usually children under 13 or an individual who is not capable of caring for himself or herself.

Here's how the program works

• You may choose to have Westaff set aside a portion of your pay (up to a maximum of $5000) each calendar year to cover eligible dependent care expenses.
• These pre-tax dollars (exempt from federal income, FICA and most state income taxes) will be credited to your dependent care reimbursement account and may be used toward paying the cost of eligible expenses for qualified dependents.
• Eligible expenses are submitted to Westaff for reimbursement from your Future Funds Dependent Care Reimbursement Account.

Basic eligibility
To be eligible for the dependent care plan, you must enroll prior to working 120 hours in the past 90 days or January 1. (For Medical employees working on a visit basis, each visit will be considered two hours for the purpose of this benefit.)

Contact your assignment supervisor for a full description of this plan.
