SECTION E Authorizations, Annual Salary Reduction Agreement and Certication of Qualifying Event
Authorization and Annual Salary Reduction Agreement
I have read the printed material explaining the HCFSA and/or DeCAP benets and my choices under these programs. I have also read the Enrollment/Change Form information on Pages
3 and 4 of this form. I understand that by signing and submitting this Enrollment/Change Form, I am making a binding election as to my benet coverage for the Plan Year that begins
on January 1, 2021. I authorize my Employer to reduce my gross salary as indicated on this form in order to pay for the benets I have elected. I understand that my payments will be
pro-rated over each payroll period.
NOTE: I understand that my HCFSA election cannot be reduced or revoked for any reason except for termination of employment during the Plan Year, or if I should take an unpaid leave
of absence. I agree to pay, in full, the amount elected on this form for the Plan Year for HCFSA, by recalculating the payroll deductions upon returning from unpaid leave. My HCFSA
and/or DeCAP election can only be changed if I experience a Qualifying Event (Section C). I further understand that each account is separate and that DeCAP funds cannot be used
for or transferred to HCFSA or vice-versa. I understand that any amount remaining in these FSAs that is not used during the Plan Year and HCFSA Grace Period, if applicable, will be
permanently forfeited by me. I understand that I am only eligible to receive reimbursement on behalf of my eligible dependents listed on this form.
I understand that I will be terminated from participation in the Program if I cease employment with the City of New York or go on an unpaid leave of absence, unless I elect to participate
in the Continuation Coverage for HCFSA.
Direct Deposit Authorization
I hereby authorize the Flexible Spending Accounts Program to deposit my HCFSA/DeCAP reimbursement directly into my checking or savings account as requested. I also grant au-
thorization for the reversal of a credit to my account in the event the credit was made in error. I understand that, under the “National Automated Clearing House Association” operating
guidelines and rules, the Flexible Spending Accounts Program can only reverse the amount of the incorrect direct deposit. I agree that this authorization will remain in effect until I provide
to the Flexible Spending Accounts Program a written cancellation to terminate the service. I will notify the Flexible Spending Accounts Program if my bank account numbers listed above
should change.
Mid-Year Qualifying Event
This is to certify that I incurred the Qualifying Event indicated in Section C and, therefore, wish to modify my benets as indicated. I understand that the change(s) in benets requested
must be consistent with the Qualifying Event, and that I must provide approved documentation of all change(s), and that the effective date of the change(s) will be the date the forms are
received by the Plan Administrator or the date of my rst payroll deduction if I become eligible after the beginning of the Plan Year. The participant has the burden of proof to show that
the Qualifying Event is acceptable under the Plan. The Plan Administrator reserves the right to request additional information. The Plan Administrator has, among other duties, the power
and duty to interpret the Qualifying Event and to resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions.

PLAN YEAR 2021 ENROLLMENT/CHANGE FORM
FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA) PROGRAM
nyc.gov/fsa
Important: COVID-19 Changes to the FSA Program
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IRS has released various notices in 2020 allowing HCFSA and DeCAP participants to cancel their de-
ductions or modify their goal amounts on a prospective basis for Plan Year 2020.
Therefore, please periodically refer to the FSA website at nyc.gov/fsa for any updates to the HCFSA program for Plan Year 2020 and
Plan Year 2021. There has been no guidance released for Plan Year 2021 as of the date of this printing.
By signing the Enrollment/Change Form:
• I authorize my Employer to reduce my gross salary before federal income taxes and Social Security (FICA) taxes are calculated by the
total amount of the annual salary reduction (Plan Year 2021 contribution amount) indicated on Page 1.
• I understand that contributions to the FSA Program may reduce my Social Security benets, since Social Security contributions will be
based on my adjusted gross salary.
• I authorize the FSA Program to deposit my HCFSA/DeCAP reimbursement directly into my checking or savings account as requested
(See Section D).
Under HCFSA
• I understand that the amount of salary reduction will continue throughout the Plan Year and cannot be reduced or revoked for any reason
except for termination of my employment during the Plan Year or if I should take an unpaid leave of absence.
• I understand that I may enroll in the Program or increase my contribution should I become eligible to participate in this Program or acquire
new dependents during mid-year. I understand that I must complete all applicable sections of this form and submit it to the FSA Program
Administrator within thirty (30) days after a Qualifying Event in order to enroll and/or add dependents. A Qualifying Event can be mar-
riage, adoption or birth of a child, commencement of new employment with the City, or employee’s return from approved unpaid leave of
absence (taken during the Open Enrollment Period) or termination of participant’s employment with the City of New York.
• I understand that I will be reimbursed for eligible expenses up to my total annual contribution amount, less the administrative fee and any
claims previously reimbursed, regardless of the current balance in my account.
• I understand that any health care expense dened by the IRS as a non-deductible expense for income tax purposes shall be ineligible
for reimbursement. I further understand that although an expense may be deductible for income tax purposes, it may be ineligible for
reimbursement under this Program.
• I understand that my personal and claim information will not be released to any other individual unless I complete the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Protected Health Information (PHI) Authorization Form.
• I understand that I have the right to revoke my HCFSA HIPAA authorization at any time in writing by emailing the Program through the
FSA website at nyc.gov/fsa.
HCFSA Continuation of Coverage - Employees Terminating Employment/Unpaid Leave of Absence
If you terminate your employment with the City of New York or go on an unpaid leave of absence during the Plan Year, you cannot submit
any claims for services rendered after your termination date, or eective date of your unpaid leave of absence, unless you elect Continuation
of Coverage. You may elect to deduct the remaining balance of your goal amount on a pre-tax basis either by lump-sum or pro-rated payroll
deductions with the remaining paychecks, as long as the FSA Program Administrator is able to meet the payroll deadlines for the applicable
pay dates. Otherwise, you may continue coverage by submitting payment to the FSA program with post-tax dollars. Department of Education
employees terminating employment in the summer must notify the FSA Program Administrative Oce by the rst week in May 2021.
• I understand that I will be terminated from participation in the HCFSA Program, unless I elect HCFSA Program Continuation Coverage.
In this case, I agree to fund the balance of my HCFSA goal amount for the current Plan Year with either (a) pre-tax dollars deducted from
my last paycheck(s) or accelerated for the remaining paychecks prior to leaving City service; or (b) post-tax dollars for the remainder of
the current Plan Year.
• I understand that if I elect HCFSA Program Continuation Coverage and would prefer that the balance of my goal amount for the current
Plan Year be deducted from my last paycheck(s) or accelerated for the remaining paychecks on a pre-tax basis, I will notify the FSA
Program Administrative Oce in writing by emailing the Program through the FSA website at nyc.gov/fsa thirty (30) days prior to the date
I cease employment, or as soon as possible in order for the FSA Program Administrator to meet payroll deadlines.
• I understand that if I take an unpaid leave of absence, I must notify the FSA Program Administrative Oce to recalculate the deduction
amount upon my return from the unpaid leave of absence and the FSA Program Administrative Oce may also recalculate the deduction
amount if necessary as long as it is within the same calendar year and within the payroll cut-o dates.
• I authorize the FSA Program Administrative Oce to recalculate any missed HCFSA payroll deduction amounts, if the FSA Program
Administrator identies such missed deductions.

Under DeCAP
• I understand that the amount of salary reduction will continue throughout the Plan Year, unless I incur an approved Qualifying Event.
I understand that I must complete all applicable sections of this form and submit it to the Plan Administrator within thirty (30) days after
a Qualifying Event in order for any change to be eective.
• I understand that I may enroll in the Program or increase my contribution should I become eligible to participate in this Program or ac-
quire new dependents during mid-year. I understand that I must complete all applicable sections of this form and submit it to the Plan
Administrator within thirty (30) days after a Qualifying Event in order to enroll and/or add dependents. A Qualifying Event can be marriage,
adoption or birth of a child, commencement of new employment with the City, employee’s return from approved unpaid leave of absence
(taken during the Open Enrollment Period) or termination of participant’s employment with the City of New Y
ork.
• I understand that I will be reimbursed up to the total current balance in my account less the administrative fee. Any amounts requested
for reimbursement which exceed the current balance in my account will be carried forward to the next month.
• I understand that if I am married and my spouse is not employed, he/she must be either: a) incapable of self-care or b) a full-time student.
• I understand that I may not receive a benet for eligible employment-related dependent care expenses incurred by me which is in excess
of my Earned Income or the Earned Income of my spouse, if I am married.
Under HCFSA and DeCAP
• I understand that if I do not experience accurate payroll deductions, it is my responsibility to notify the FSA Program immediately.
• I understand that the funds in these FSAs can only be paid out to reimburse eligible medical and/or dependent care expenses actually
incurred after the start of my participation in the FSA Program and during the Plan Year and HCFSA Grace Period, if applicable.
• I understand that I have the burden of proof to show that each medical and/or dependent care expense is reimbursable under the FSA
Program, as well as eligible and reimbursable under all regulations (including the Internal Revenue Code).
• I understand that, under all circumstances, the FSA Program Administrator reserves the right to request additional information.
• I understand that the FSA Program Administrator has, among other powers and duties, the power and duty to interpret the FSA Program
