Day care expenses are eligible whether provided by an individual or by an established day care center. If the provider is a day care center which regularly provides care for more than 6 people, the center must comply with state and local laws and regulations. The claim will be paid up to the amount available in the account. The participant will be reimbursed for the rest of the claim once the money is deposited in the account.

Expenses for dependent care no longer qualify for the Dependent Care FSA on the day your child turns age 13 unless they have been certified as incapable of self-care. Care for dependents incapable of self-care qualifies to any age as long as it is for care and well-being while you are working or looking for work. No. Only charges for care and well-being in order for you to work or look for work qualify for your Dependent Care FSA.
