TASC Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Flexible Spending Plan

Total Administrative Services Corporation (TASC) is the flexible spending plan provider for East Moline School District. Flexible spending plans (also known as Section 125 Cafeteria Plans) allow eligible employees to 1. tax-shelter eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses (Medical Reimbursement Plan) and/or 2. tax-shelter eligible child care expenses (Dependent Care Plan).

Highlights of the plan include:

  • The limit for Medical Reimbursement Plans for 2024 is $3,050.00. The Dependent Care Plan limit is $5,000.

  • Employees will still receive a TASC (debit) card at no additional charge, plus an additional card for their spouse or dependent.

  • In addition to Medical Reimbursement Account funds, the TASC card includes, a MyCash account. When employees submit a request for reimbursement for an eligible benefit expense, the approved reimbursement is deposited directly into the MyCash account, usually within 24-48 hours. The MyCash account funds can be used for any type of purchase, used at an ATM for cash, or transferred into a personal bank account. The same TASC card is used to pay for eligible medical expenses, and the appropriate account will be debited, depending on the type of purchase.

  • Online access is available using the MyTASC portal at https://www.tasconline.com/ubaaccess. Employees are able to manage their account, view balances, request a PIN (for using your MyCash account at an ATM), set up direct deposit for reimbursements, etc.

  • MyTASC Mobile App is a free download from Amazon, Apple App Store, and Google Play for Android for smartphones or tablets. With the mobile app, employees can view account summary and balances, plan transaction history and details of transactions they have made. Employees can also submit a claim by entering a few details and submitting with only a photo of their receipt.

The monthly employee cost of TASC is $2.00. As a word of caution, please remember that although there will be a grace period after December 31 to submit claims, all eligible expenses must be incurred between January 1 and December 31  of the plan year. 

"Use it or Lose It" Rule: Any remaining funds are forfeited. This “use it or lose it” rule pertains only to Dependent Care accounts, and is not true of the MyCash account.

*** Medical Flexible Spending Account Rollover!

  • Unused amounts of up to $610.00 are automatically rolled over for use in the 2024 plan. Carried over amounts do not count toward your contribution for the following year. This does not apply for dependent care accounts.

Employees who are no longer enrolled in TASC, but have a balance on their MyCash account may still use their MyCash account. A $5.00 monthly fee will be assessed by TASC, and deducted from MyCash account balances.

Please note: This is a benefit that requires an annual enrollment to keep the FSA plan active.
