A recent survey of flexible spending account administrators suggests not many employers, at least this year, will take advantage of the IRSs recent change to allow FSA funds to be rolled over from year to year, but there will likely be significant employer rollover adoption for the 2014 plan year and modest gains in both FSA enrollment and account contributions.
The survey of 200 FSA administrators was conducted following the IRSs move earlier this month to allow a maximum of $500 in FSA funds to be carried over from year to year.
