Flexible Spending Account Deadline is March 31
Claims for eligible expenses incurred January 1, 2009 - March 15, 2010, must be filed with Fringe Benefits Management Company (FBMC) by March 31, 2010. As FBMC receives your 2009 manual claims and myFBMC CardSM claims during the grace period, January 1 - March 15, 2010, FBMC will pay those claims from your 2009 Medical Spending Account (MSA) first, before paying claims from your 2010 MSA.
Use the link below to print a MoneyPlu$ Claim Form. These may be faxed to FBMC toll-free at 888-800-5217 or the form can be mailed to the address at the bottom of the form.

Submit Your Claims Online!
FBMC is pleased to announce online FSA claims submission through www.myFBMC.com. This process allows FSA participants the opportunity to submit, via the Web, a scanned image of a completed claim form and supporting documentation. Permissible formats include .jpg, .gif, .bmp and .pdf.
Submitting claims online gets reimbursement requests to FBMC faster than traditional mail, thus expediting the release of reimbursement funds back to participants.
For questions or more information, contact FBMC's Customer Care Center at www.myFBMC.com or read the newsletter online at the following link.
