Maybe so! The one at mine worked like this:

  1. You elect in advance how much you want to fund your FSA in the next upcoming period (year)

  2. On day 1 of that period the FSA is available to you to spend on eligible expenses. Within 2 weeks I spent the full years elected amount (one surgery).

  3. For the duration of the period they deduct (pre-tax) the total FSA election / pay periods (ie. $2000/24 in my case). And that would repeat through the full period (year).

So in my case, leaving after paycheck 1 of that period, but spending 100% of the elected funds means I paid: 1x(2000/24)= $83. But I spent $2000. Upon leaving that meant they did not collect $1917.

Weird FSA trick tho; if you borrow from an FSA, spend it in full in, say… the first month of the year, quit your job. You never have to pay it back.

Happened to me by accident. I started a plan to pay for LASIK. Got it. Had no way of knowing back then I’d be made another job offer. Took it and expected to get dinged with the entire amount. Nope. FSA plan eats the loss.

So all you gotta do is plan very specifically months ahead and triple down by orchestrating a job change all to save $2k :) easy.

In many jurisdictions it’s not legal to charge this fee unless it’s advertised when ordering such as on the menu or posted signage.

Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.

Edit: and not be too concerned about a 10s bumper ad or two. Altho don’t get wrong they are increasingly obnoxious.

I think you deleted your comment. But I don’t think it’s weird at all. If what you say is true than it makes the impact of the choice gap between older and younger voters even more important. Clearly younger voters had to come out in massive force and extremely aligned to overcome the huge conservative bias of their older voting group peers in those elections.
