FSA and person to retire

ktherman2003

Our plan year will begin March 1st. My question is if we know that we will have a person retiring in May, can that person participate from March 1st to April 31st and contribute based on 5 pay periods versus our company's normal 26?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Why would they not be able to. The fact that they have tentative or ironclad plans to retire during the plan year doesn't preclude their participation. Their plans might change. But their plans don't remove them from the eligible participant population.
