PayFlex
Debit cards remain active for 5 years. If the card expires, PayFlex will issue a new card. If the employee disposes their old card, they will need to contact PayFlex to request a new card.
Switching from FSA to HSA
If you previously had the debit card option, you will use the same debit card. However, effective January 1, 2019, the card will default to use HSA contributions only.
The debit card cannot be used after December 31, 2018, for FSA claims. You have until March 31, 2019, to submit a claim online or via fax for claims incurred in 2018.
Switching from HSA to FSA
- If you elect the FSA, you will use the same debit card. However, effective January 1, 2019, the card will default to use FSA contributions only.
- If you want to use your HSA funds, you will need to submit a claim online.
- When no longer contributing the HSA moves to an individual "retail" account. You should receive a notification of this change in your account and that you will be charged a monthly maintenance fee.
Electing a Limited Purpose FSA
- If you elect the LPFSA, you will receive one card which will manage both your HSA/LPFSA accounts
- Using your card for a dental or vision expense will pull your LPFSA funds first; all other eligible expenses will be pulled from the HSA
- If you already have an HSA and elect the LPFSA, you will not receive a card; LPFSA funds will be placed on your active HSA debit card
If you need an additional debit card, you can contact PayFlex at 1-800-284-4885 or by logging in to your
PayFlex account and choose 'Request Dependent Card' option. Mailing time for the cards is 10-15 business days.
