Ways to Save
Using pre-tax dollars from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) means you save money that would otherwise be spent on federal and state taxes. During Open Enrollment, you can elect:
- A Health Care FSA to pay for eligible health care expenses for you and your eligible dependents.
- A Dependent Care FSA, sometimes known as dependent day care, to pay for expenses related to the care of your dependents.
Another way to save is by participating in Ohio State’s employee wellness program, Your Plan for Health (YP4H). You can earn:
- Premium credit of up to $480 per year if you and your enrolled spouse take your annual Personal Health & Wellbeing Assessment with biometrics.
- Up to $500 a year paid by the university to your Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) if you participate in the YP4H Incentive Program, with an additional $500 a year if your spouse participates.
