You may be eligible for the following benefits. However, check with your agency to make sure you’re eligible under their policies.

The Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS) is a great way to help you save money by setting aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to help pay for eligible healthcare or child care costs.
