You have 90 days following the end of the plan year to submit claims for expenses incurred during the plan year.

You have 90 days from your date of termination to submit claims for services incurred while you were participating.

Upon termination of the FSA, you will have a grace period to submit claims for reimbursement for expenses incurred before your termination.

If you are participating in an HFSA at the time of a COBRA qualifying event, you may elect to continue your coverage in that account under the federally mandated continuation (COBRA), if applicable to your employer. Contact your benefits administrator for additional information concerning when, and if, coverage may be continued. If HFSA is continued under COBRA, charges incurred during the period of continued coverage would be eligible for reimbursement as long as the participant continues to contribute to the HFSA.
