Cleveland County authorizes Flex Plan bank account, directs monthly-invoice method
Summary
The board voted unanimously to let the Treasurer open a bank account for the county's Flexible Spending Plan and to use monthly invoices; commissioners also warned employees about an upcoming FSA card cutoff and a 90-day reimbursement window.
Cleveland County commissioners voted on Dec. 8 to authorize the Treasurer to establish a bank account for the county Flexible Spending (Flex) Plan and to process employer-side transactions using a monthly invoice system. The motion was made by Commissioner Rod Cleveland and seconded by Vice-Chairman Rusty Grissom; Chairman Jacob McHughes and the rest of the board voted yes, and the motion carried.
Commissioners discussed operational concerns tied to the transition, including a scheduled cutoff date when old FSA debit cards will be deactivated. Officials said employees will not lose their funds but must file any outstanding claims before that cutoff; employees then have a 90-day reimbursement window for claims incurred before the deadline. Department heads were asked to notify staff, and a follow-up meeting was scheduled between a commissioner and the concerned individual, Lisa Ward, to clarify specific employee questions.
