MI SCR0032

Memorialize Congress to enact legislation allowing employees to disenroll from dependent care flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and withdraw unused funds.

Address hardship caused by COVID-19 pandemic, which forced childcare facility closures and reduced dependent care needs for many families.

Current federal rules require employees to forfeit unused FSA balances at year-end under the "use-or-lose" rule, even when circumstances prevent using deposited funds.

Allow American families to recover forfeited income to meet necessary expenses and increase spending power during economic recovery.

Direct transmission of resolution to the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, President of the U.S. Senate, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
