Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), administered by Benefit Resource (BRI), allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health and dependent care expenses. Each year, you must elect the annual amount you want to contribute to one or both accounts. Your contributions will be deducted pre-tax from your paycheck which can help reduce your taxable income.

How to log in to your New BRI account:

• Go to the BRIWeb
• Click on “Register an Account“
• Company Code: technicolor
• Member ID: your Social Security number

NEW FSA Vendor for 2023

Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Commuter Benefits will be administered by Navia Benefit Solutions. Your year-end balance with BRI will be transferred to Navia in Q1-2023. You will receive a new debit card to pay for eligible services.

Health Care FSA

The Health Care FSA will reimburse you for eligible health care expenses that you, your spouse, and your children incur during the plan year. When you incur an eligible expense, you can use your Discovery Benefits debit card and/or submit documentation for reimbursement.

Note: if you are enrolled in the PPO Plus HSA, you are not eligible to participate in the Health Care FSA.

Dependent Care FSA

The Dependent Care FSA lets you use pre-tax dollars to pay eligible daycare expenses for children age 12 and under, or elder dependents who are unable to care for themselves. Some eligible expenses include:

• Child care
• Nursery school
• Before- and after-school care
• In-home dependent care
• Adult care

Note: if you are enrolled in the PPO Plus HSA, you are eligible to participate in the Dependent Care FSA.

Rules to Keep in Mind

FSAs offer significant tax advantages, but are subject to IRS regulations:

• All expenses for the Health Care and Dependent Care FSAs must be incurred during the plan year: January 1 through December 31.
• The IRS has a strict “Use-It or Lose-It” rule for FSAs. 
• Once you enroll in the FSA, you can only change your contribution amount during the plan year if you experience a qualifying life event.
• Each account functions separately. You cannot transfer funds from one FSA to another.
