Flexible Spending Account (FSA) - ASIFlex
The FY26 FSA Grace Period runs from July 1, 2026 through September 15, 2026. This means that if you are a participant as of June 30, 2026 for the FY26 Plan Year, you may continue to incur expenses through September 15, 2026 in order to use any remaining funds. The deadline to submit claims is October 15, 2026 for ALL allowable expenses incurred during the FY26 Plan Year and the accompanying Grace Period. Due to changes in USPS postmark and processing procedures* it is highly recommended that FSA Participants consider using online claim submission methods so that claim documents are received on time. Claim documents postmarked after the claim submission deadline (October 15) will be denied. After October 15, 2026, accounts will be closed and any balance remaining will be forfeited to the State of Delaware in accordance with federal regulations.
*IMPORTANT UPDATE: USPS mail processing changes are causing significant delays in postmarking mailed claims. These delays can directly impact whether a claim is considered filed on time. To help prevent late submissions and avoid unnecessary denials, SBO encourages FSA Participants to use online claim submission methods, either through the participant portal or the mobile app. Participant Portal Navigation: Employee Self-Service, accessible through my.delaware.gov > Benefits > Benefits Websites > ASIFlex Account Detail. The ASIFlex mobile app is available on Google play and on the App Store.
The Direct Pay benefit is now available for both Health Care and Dependent Care FSA participants. Direct Pay allows FSA participants to pay their medical or day care providers directly from their account. Participants may set up scheduled and automatic payment(s) to a provider of their choice. To set up authorization for services, login to your Account Detail in Employee Self-Service through my.delaware.gov .
