I really screwd up this time. My company does not mail out any info for FSA and Health insurance when its open season time. Management does not do a very good job of keeping us informed on things. But I guess I take blame for part or all of it. I should have checked before putting a large sum of money into FSA for dependant care on the advice of others. I sent my son to summer day camp and when I sent in to clain my money I was told it does not qualify because he is 13. Apparently dependant care fsa only covers children under 13. So I think I am really screwed. I had a coworker last year who was unaware his insurance premium was going up. He ended up paying over $400 per paycheck for insurance. That's $800 a month. I was wondering has anyone had a situation like this. Is there a way I could get my money back or just look at it as a very expensive lesson learned.
