PayFlex Change

From the comments:
  • OT, SCC, but not sure how much people may be paying attention to things happening at the national level that affect us here in Chicago.

    Per IRS guidelines, and as a result of "healthcare reform," the amount that can be saved in your FSA/HSA (for CPD, that's Payflex) account is being reduced to $2500 per year as of January 1. Might make a difference to those who contribute more than that to cover expenses for a large family or for a family member who has a chronic illness.
Since this money was taken out pre-tax and there was no ceiling previously, this is a big deal if you participate in the program.
