Most full-time employees are eligible to enroll in an FSA, so long as their employer offers HCFSAs as part of their benefits package. 

• Current employees can enroll during your company's initial enrollment period (after the plan is set up), during FSA Open Enrollment, or because of a qualifying life event.

• Newly hired employees have 30 days after being hired to enroll in an FSA.

• Union employees (if any) will be eligible for participation in the FSA.

Who is not eligible for a HCFSA?

The exceptions include:

• Self-employed employees and shareholders who own 2% or more in an S-Corp, LLC, LLP, PC, sole proprietorship, or partnerships.
• Employees with HSAs should not enroll in a HCFSA. However, employees with HSAs are allowed to have a Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA).
