Cobb County Government offers employees two Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA's):

• Healthcare Account
• Dependent Childcare Account

Flexible Spending accounts provide a way for you to pay for certain unreimbursed health care and dependent child care expenses with tax-free dollars. You contribute before-tax dollars directly from your pay to either or both Flexible Spending Account.

Why? Because you save money since the contributions are made before taxes. This is comparable to every $1.00 you elect only affecting your take-home pay by about $0.70.

All with the convenience of a MasterCard! Current FSA Participants must keep their card until the imprinted expiration date. Annual Elections are credited each year on January 1st. Replacement Cards are $7.50 and will be deducted from your FSA account.

Limits are :

• $5,000 to Dependent Childcare Accounts ($2,500 if married and filing separate returns) 
• $3,010 in Medical Healthcare Accounts  for 2024 and $3,200 for 2025

You can access your MedCom accounts online at the WealthCare Portal for MedCom. (Registration ID is MCOCOBCTY)

• Healthcare Accounts and Childcare Accounts are completely separate. You cannot use money set aside in your Healthcare Account for Childcare expenses and vice versa.  

• Healthcare Accounts allow a carryover balance of unused elections of $610 for 2024 and $640 for 2025.

• Daycare Accounts have an IRS regulated "Use it or Lose it" policy. Any unused funds will not rollover to the following Plan Year.
