FAQ
14.Will there be any changes to flexible spending accounts (FSA) or health savings accounts (HSA)?

In 2011, individuals will no longer be allowed to use FSA HSA or health reimbursement account funds to purchase over-the-counter drugs not prescribed by a physician. In addition, the penalty for distributions from a HSA or Archer MSA that are not used for qualified medical expenses is doubled to 20 percent. By 2013, FSA contributions by employees will be capped at $2,500 per year. Pre-reform, there was no federal limits on FSAs.
