Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) & Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP)
The State of Washington FSA & DCAP plans help you save money on your out-of-pocket health and dependent day care costs. You can set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for your qualified expenses and save between 25 and 40% on each dollar that you set aside.
Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA)
The FSA is a PEBB-sponsored benefit that allows you to redirect a portion of your salary on a pre-tax basis to pay for your out-of-pocket health care expenses. The funds are deducted from your pay before FICA and Federal income taxes are calculated and can result in savings up to 40%. Learn more.

The funds are deducted from your pay before FICA and Federal income taxes are calculated and can result in savings up to 40%. Learn more.
