Spend It Before You Lose It – Use Your FSA to Safeguard the Home with a First Aid Kit

Maximize your FSA With Value-Adding Home First Aid Kits

Woodbridge, United States - December 26, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

With 2019 coming to a close, time is running out to spend one’s Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cash.

Most FSA funds expire at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Unlike Health Spending Accounts (HSA) that roll over into the next year, FSAs are “use-it-or-lose-it” year by year. Some companies, however, may allow their employees to roll over up to $500, and there are some who extend their spending deadline until March 15, 2020. But most companies have a December 31, 2019 deadline on their employees’ FSA spending. Depending on the company’s policy, employees should aim to get the most out of their FSA cash.

Individuals with FSA dollars left in their accounts should check on their spending deadlines and plan out their purchases. Some items like over-the-counter medicines for colds, allergies, and pain relief are not FSA-eligible unless a doctor writes a prescription for them. On the other hand, a person who wears prescription glasses can buy contact lenses, glasses, and even ski goggles using their flexible spending dollars.

Many are unaware, and tend to overlook some FSA-eligible items like bandages, antiseptic sprays, wound ointments, and prescriptions. Therefore, it’s recommended to make a list of products that one would like to stock up on and check to see if they can be purchased using their tax-exempt funds. Other supplies that can be paid for using FSA dollars are first aid kits, athletic braces, sunscreen, feminine care products, heating pads, and sleep aids - opm.gov has a full and official list of FSA-eligible items. There are many first aid kits available on the market that are worth looking into when seeking a kit for one’s home or car to maximize their tax-free dollars.

Surviveware, a favorite brand among adventure and outdoor enthusiasts, offers high-quality, FSA-approved first aid kits for both home and office use: the Small First Aid Kit. The company’s small first aid kit is an excellent investment for individuals. The pack is compact and light-weight so that it can be carried conveniently to off-site events, playgrounds, hiking trails, parks, and field assignments.

The kit has MOLLE-compatible straps that allow the pack to be strapped on backpacks, dehydration packs, and belts. This allows for easy carrying and retrieval of the kit, which is essential during critical situations wherein immediate medical care is unavailable. Among the kit’s 100 medical supplies are bandages, gauze pads, cleansing and antiseptic wipes, and steri-strips - all are stored inside its 600D soft-shelled polyester bag. Apart from these supplies, other provisions include splinter probes, triangular bandage, tweezers, and nitrile gloves. Surviveware also included sting relief wipes inside this one-pounder first aid pack.

Surviveware’s high-quality first aid kits are included on Amazon’s FSA, and HSA approved list. That means FSA- and HSA-eligible employees can use their FSA and HSA credit cards to purchase this kit directly on Amazon Prime. That’s quality and convenience rolled in one.

An Amazon customer shared how important his kit is, especially when going out with his two kids:

“This is the perfect modular kit for a backpack or travel. I have 2 small kids, and I use it for the minor things while away from my car. We also have the large kit in our vehicles for the major stuff. Had a small issue with stocking and Amanda on their team was fantastic with a resolution.”
