For 2012 Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Participants
- Around December 16, 2011, you may have received a welcome letter email from Discovery Benefits’ “No Reply” email address with the following subject: “Secure Discovery Benefits Online Access.” The email was legitimate and you may log-in to their secure site to register and access your FSA account activity 24/7.
- If you prefer, you may manage your FSA accounts through your smart phone. Go mobile. Take a picture of your receipt from your smart phone and send it securely to Discovery Benefits. It’s as easy as that! For more information, download here for iPhones; download here for Android users.
- By now, you should have received your FSA debit card issued by VISA through Discovery Benefits. New this year is your ability to use the debit card for both health-related and dependent daycare-related expenses. If you haven't received your debit card, contact the SDSURF Benefits Team.
- Save all receipts, even when you use the debit card. Maintaining documentation is required by the IRS. To assist you with maintaining your records, you may request a receipt folder from your SDSURF Benefits Team.
