Do you want to keep more of your money? Then consider using the tax savings FSAs can give you. FSAs can help you save money because they give you a tax break on certain types of health care and work-related daycare expenses. Paying with tax-free dollars keeps more money in your pocket.

How These Accounts Work
You can open:

• a Health Care Spending Account
• a Dependent Care Spending Account
• both types of accounts

Here is an overview of how these accounts work:

• You decide how much you want to deposit during the calendar year. From a minimum of $260 annually, up to the 2025 IRS maximum of $3,300 for an HCFSA or LPFSA. The DCFSA maximum annual contribution is $5,000.
• HCFSA or LPFSA funds can be used for expenses incurred through the end of the benefit plan year, the date of separation or benefit ineligibility, whichever comes first.
• The money you contribute is automatically deducted from your pay before Federal and Social Security taxes are taken out. This money is deposited directly into the spending account(s) you have selected.

The advantages of these accounts are:

• Eligible expenses are tax-free
• More disposable income, because you keep some of the money that would normally go toward your federal income and Social Security taxes
• Convenience, because your deposits are made through payroll deduction

HSAs require enrollment in an HSA-qualified (or high-deductible) health plan. In addition, HSAs stay with you forever and funds never expire.

• Use tax-free money to pay for qualified medical expenses
• No 'use-it-or-lose-it,' keep your HSA forever
• Enjoy higher contribution limits
• Invest your HSA tax-free, like a 401(k)

To design the life insurance benefit that fits your lifestyle, ask yourself how much money your family would need to live on if something happened to you, and how long they would need it. USFTGP provides you with two (2) times your annual base pay of core life insurance through Lincoln Financial Group with a maximum benefit amount of $300,000 at no cost to you. Because it is important to have the right amount of protection, USFTGP offers additional life insurance.

How Much Life Insurance Should You Purchase?
The right amount of life insurance protection can help your loved ones avoid having to drastically alter their lifestyle to cope with financial obligations if you die prematurely. You should estimate how much your family may need for:

• Funeral expenses
• The mortgage
• Car loans
• Credit card and other debt
• Education for your children
• Retirement for your spouse

As a general rule of thumb, some experts say you will need six to eight times your annual gross income in life insurance, but everyone’s needs differ.
