A MoneyPlus Dependent Care Spending Account allows you to use pretax dollars to pay for childcare for your dependent children who are younger than 13. Your annual election amount will be divided into equal payments based on your pay periods and deducted from each paycheck before taxes. As you have eligible expenses, you request reimbursement up to the amount you have available in your DCSA.

Enroll in a DCSA for 2027 during this year’s open enrollment and use your funds for things like:

Daycare

General purpose day camps (overnight camps are not eligible)

Babysitting

Before- and after-school care

Nursery or preschool

Prekindergarten expenses

When estimating the amount you will spend on dependent care throughout the year, consider vacation and holiday time, when you might not have to pay for dependent care. You can use funds you contribute in 2027 for eligible expenses incurred January 1, 2027, through March 15, 2028. You will forfeit any unused funds.

Adjust your election amount throughout the year

• Marriage or divorce;
• Birth, placement for adoption or adoption;
• Placement for custody;
• Gaining or losing employment;
• Change from full-time to part-time employment, or vice versa; and
• Change in day care provider.
