Not as a new hire. It's good for 10 years isn't it?

So it's kinda like landing the Maddog!

Just like the Hitler video says "5 knots slow on final and you're screwed!"

Why is it a good idea to have a limited-purpose FSA?

IRS rules do not allow you to contribute to a health savings account (HSA) if you are covered by any non-qualifying health plan, including a general-purpose health FSA. By limiting FSA reimbursements to dental and vision care expenses, you (or your spouse) remain eligible to participate in both a limited-purpose FSA and an HSA. Participating in both plans allows you to maximize your savings and tax benefits.

What is a limited-purpose flexible spending account?

A limited-purpose health flexible spending account (referred to as a limited-purpose FSA) is much like a typical, general-purpose health FSA. However, under a limited-purpose FSA, eligible expenses are limited to qualifying dental and vision expenses for you, your spouse, and your eligible dependents.
Here’s how a limited-purpose FSA works. Money is set aside from your paycheck before taxes are taken out. You can then use your pre-tax FSA dollars to pay for eligible vision or dental expenses throughout the plan year. You save money on expenses you’re already paying for, like dental checkups, vision exams, eyeglasses, and much more.

I asked a similar to our benefits lady. She said in an e-mail that a limited purpose FSA could be used for the 20 percent copay once the deductible is met, but not the deductible. Does this sound right?

I'm sure they reimburse the YF shot. I thought you were recently hired and a fresh one was needed for new hires.

Did anyone notice the propaganda on Deltanet discussing American management's pilot contract proposal?

Talked about American pay rates surpassing ours. But that they didn't get profit sharing.

So Delta touts our profit sharing, while they plot to eliminate it.

That's some chutzpah.

I was recently talking with a Public Health PHd last year who explained that the new standard for the Yellow Fever Shot is ONCE per lifetime. That standard has been adopted by the WHO. So I passed that info along to Mama D hoping for only 10% of the expected savings for 12000ish X $200ish every ten years. I have not heard back yet.
