NCFlex 2021 Calendars

For the first time, NCFlex has issued calendars to all participating members of our plans. The calendar contains several features including:

  • Information about the NCFlex benefits, featuring a different benefit each month
  • Critical date reminders
  • Pixaction, a scan feature which allows you to view product videos directly from your mobile device

You can view the calendar on our main page at www.ncflex.org. Calendars should be coming to your mailbox any day now. Some participating members may not receive the calendar if your address was incorrect in Benefitfocus or if you were hired recently.
 
If you do not receive a calendar by Feb. 15 and would like one, reach out to your Benefit Representative in your HR office to request one be sent to you.
Flexible Spending Account Reminders
Health Care FSA
  • If you have elected a new amount for 2021, funds were loaded onto your convenience card effective Jan. 1 and can be used immediately.
  • The election you've made for 2021 should not be used for prior year expenses, but only for dates of service dated Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2021 (outside of any rollover).
  • If you had funds that rolled over from 2020, these funds are held to pay for any 2020 claims. Once the deadline to submit claims for 2020 has passed, the rollover is available to pay 2021 claims.
  • Learn more about what's covered by viewing the NCFlex Sample List of FSA eligible items and the FSA Eligibility List by FSAStore.
 
Dependent Day Care FSA
  • Funds elected for the 2021 plan year are not available for reimbursement until they have been payroll deducted.
  • If you experience a change in day care needs, you can use the life event "Day Care change" to adjust the amount you contribute, cancel the plan or start the plan, within 30 days of the event.
