Ohio University Benefits is pleased to announce that effective July 1, 2025, P&A Group will be the new provider of your Flexible Spending Account benefit. Established in 1975, P&A Group was selected from a competitive group of finalists. P&A Group replaces our former provider, WageWorks/ Health Equity.
Participation in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is optional and allows you to save on your taxes while paying for certain medical bills or day care expenses. You may choose to enroll in the Health Care Spending Account, the Dependent Day Care Spending Account, or both. If choosing to participate in a FSA you must enroll each year during the annual open enrollment period held in the Spring.
