FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

Valassis' Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) offer you an easy way to put aside and pay for eligible health care and dependent care expenses. By using our FSAs you deposit funds into your account directly from your pay. The deduction is taken before federal, social security and most state and local taxes are applied. This means you pay less in taxes and have more take-home pay.

There are three FSA options available to you:

  • Health Care FSA - used to pay for eligible medical, dental and vision care expenses for you and your eligible dependents. This plan is available to permanent full and part-time associates working a minimum of 20 hours per week, and who are not enrolled in the Health Choice Savings Plan or another a high deductible health care plan with a spouse's employer.
  • Dependent Care FSA - used to pay for dependent care expenses for a child or adult that you declare as a dependent on your federal tax return. Valassis will match up to $600 of your annual contribution if you were hired before October 1st of the preceding year. You and your spouse must either work or attend school full-time in order to be eligible for this plan.
  • Limited Purpose Health Care FSA - used to pay for eligible vision and dental expenses for associates enrolled in the Valassis Health Choice Savings Plan.

Note: Because FSAs help you save on taxes, they are tightly regulated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
