    @aaronpk I'm just approaching the age where I can find things to spend it on, so I have maxed out the benefit the last couple of years. Assuming a 33%(ish) effective tax rate, that gives me just under $1000 of additional buying power. But for $500 or so, no, it would most certainly not be worth the hassle of dealing with ASI.

    The "limited purpose" FSA is only good for vision and dental, and they've already been a pain about reimbursing dental things they think don't count

    @aaronpk Our insurance told us they were changing FSA providers for next year and that brought me great joy because the old one is so terribly difficult to deal with. It's almost not worth the hassle. Then a couple of weeks ago, they alerted us that there will be no change after all. I'm on a health plan for state employees, so I assume they made the original announcement while the ink was still drying on the new contract and then something fell through at the last minute.

    ugh yeah it's so complicated. I decided it's just not worth it to me to save a bit on taxes. I was only doing like $500-600 a year. I might feel different if I was regularly spending $3000 a year.

    I was approximately .1% confident that I would be able to actually spend my LP FSA money that rolls over to 2024 since I won't quality for an FSA next year and they're also changing FSA providers. So I just spent the rest of the money on new glasses. 😎

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
