Choosing an Annual Election

Once a member enrolls and sets an annual election amount, that pre-tax amount will be automatically deducted from their paycheck in equal increments throughout the year. The entire election amount is available to the member at the start of the Plan Year. 

Maximum Election: $16,810

Start Spending

When members are ready to use the money from the FSA for any eligible adoption expense, they can use the Surency Benefits Card or pay upfront and file a claim. Filing a claim electronically for reimbursement is easy through the Surency Member Account or the Surency Mobile App. Reimbursement will only occur if funds are available. 

Common Eligible Expenses with an Adoption Assistance FSA include: 

• Reasonable and necessary adoption fees
• Court costs
• Attorney fees
• Traveling expenses (including amounts spent on meals and lodging)
• Other expenses for the purpose of legal adoption 

Managing FSA funds is easier than ever with our user-friendly Member Account and Mobile App. Check your account balance, submit a claim by snapping a picture of your receipt, manage notifications, and more.

Don't Lose Funds

To avoid losing any money, use all Adoption Assistance FSA funds before the end of the Plan Year. Depending on the plan, a grace period or rollover may be offered.
