What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
At the end of 2005, I still had a remaining over $300 on my FSA Account. However, my claim dated February 10, 2006 was paid from 2006 year's contribution in the amount of $224.96 despite my request in the submitted form that it should be paid out of the remaining balance of 2005.
According to IRS notice of 2005-42, we should have two month and 15 days after 2005 to have occurrence of the qualified expense to be considered for 2005 cafateria account.
However, after two appeals, I was told the expiration date for my FSA account is by the end of that year. Since then, I lost my money in the account and the remaining money was simply wiped out from the balance sheet.
My question is why the state can set up its own rules and not follow IRS's "notice"
