Cafetiria Plans - Medical Reimbursment Accounts

PSRHR

Does anyone know if there is a maximum amount an employee can have deducted for his/her medical remibursment plan?

I'm assuming you're talking about a flexible spending plan and if so the answer is no, there isn't any federally mandated maximum for health reimbursement. That is determined by the company. Dependant care, however, has a maximum and I believe it is $5,000 per year.

I agree with LindaS I think the Dependant care max is $5,000. Our Health max is $3,000..determined by the company

And, because you could potentially lose the maximum dollar amount that you set (employee spends the maximum early in the year and leaves employment and you cannot recoup the money) you may think it is wise to set a relatively low maximum.
