You have until the March 31 following the end of a given plan year to submit claims for reimbursement of expenses incurred during that plan year. Account balances remaining after that date will, by law, be forfeited. You may not use current plan year account balances to pay for expenses incurred in a prior plan year. Prior plan year expenses must be paid with prior plan year account balances. Also, unused amounts cannot be carried over and used to reimburse expenses incurred in a later year.
