FSA DEBIT CARD FOR PRESCRIPTION
AND OVER-THE-COUNTER
PURCHASES — SOME Q&As
Q. If a domestic employee is enrolled in an FSA
and transfers to an Expat assignment mid-year,
what happens to his or her FSA debit card?
A. Once an employee moves to Expat payroll, his
or her FSA debit card is no longer valid and
paper claims will have to be submitted for
prescription drug and OTC reimbursements.
Q. What happens when an Expat transfers to
Domestic payroll mid-year? Is the member
sent an FSA debit card?
A. If the member already has an FSA account,
then an FSA debit card for prescription drug
and OTC reimbursement is reissued.
Q. What happens if a member transfers from
Expat to Domestic payroll, but didn’t have
an FSA account before they went on Expat
assignment?
A. Repatriation is considered a qualified status
change and the employee would be eligible to
enroll in an FSA. Once enrolled, he or she will
be issued an FSA debit card for prescription
drug and OTC reimbursements.
