Benefits: Pre-Tax Flexible Spending Accounts

Trainees in classifications (9554, 9555, 9556, and 9559) are eligible to participate in two types of Flexible Spending Accounts, the University of Minnesota Health Care Reimbursement Account and the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account programs; which allow you to pay for related expenses using pre-tax dollars.

Trainees that are funded by a National Research Services Award (NRSA) grant (9582, 9583, 9568, and 9569) are considered non-service fellows and therefore are not eligible to participate in the University of Minnesota Health Care Reimbursement Account and the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account programs.
