Carryover balance

If you have a balance remaining in your 2024 health care FSA, the IRS allows you to roll over up to $640 into 2025. Your carryover balance was automatically transferred to your 2025 account by Fidelity on Jan. 1, 2025. Your 2025 account balance now reflects the new amount — your 2025 elections plus the 2024 rollover — and is available for use. You cannot carry over unused dependent care FSA funds.

Please note, that if you submit claims for 2025 that use your full account balance, you will not be able to get reimbursed for any outstanding claims for 2024, as you would have used the rollover funds transferred on Jan. 1, 2025.
