FAQs:

• ALERT – DEPENDENT CARE PARTICIPANTS!  If you have a child who will no longer be in daycare full-time because he/she will start in a traditional or year round school beginning in the Fall of 2009, please plan your annual contribution with care.  Midyear contribution changes will not be considered if you over contribute or if your child experiences a school reassignment.  These circumstances do not satisfy the IRS defined qualifying events to allow a mid year change.

• I want to contribute to the Flexible Health and or Dependent Care accounts.  Do I have to re-enroll for 2009?   Yes. If you wish to enroll in the Flexible Spending Program for Health and or Dependent Care for 2009 you must re-enroll online at www.wakeemployees.com/benefits/enrollment and click on the health, flex and vision enrollment link.

• What is the annual maximum contribution limit for 2009?  The annual maximum contribution limit for the health care account is $5000.00.  The annual maximum contribution limit for the dependent care account is $5000.00.

• I want to check my 2008 Flex account balances.  Who do I contact?  Contact Interactive Medical Systems at 919-877-9933.

• What is the deadline to exhaust my 2008 flex health care account contributions? You have until March 15, 2009 to incur expenses and March 31, 2009 to file for reimbursable expenses for contributions made during the 2008 calendar year.

• Will I receive a new Flex Card for 2009? If you have a MBI Flex Card, do not discard.  Your card will be reloaded with your 2009 annual election for the health care and or dependent care accounts.
