As you have eligible expenses, you can submit claim forms for reimbursement from your account. The Ceridian DCSA reimbursement form can be found on Ceridian's Web site at www.ceridian-benefits.com, or by calling Ceridian at 877.799.8820.

If you are receiving your paycheck via direct deposit, your reimbursements will be automatically deposited into your bank account approximately Three to five business days after your claim is processed.

• If you do not have direct deposit, you will receive payment via check.

Opting out of Direct Deposit

If you wish to opt out of the direct deposit feature for DCSA, you will need to complete the Direct Deposit Opt Out Form (PDF)*.

• Fax the completed form to the Employee Services Unit (ESU) at 866.871.4378.
• You will need to make a direct deposit opt out election for each calendar year election.
• Please note that if you participate in both the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) and DCSA, you will need to make the same Direct deposit opt out election for each plan. You cannot elect to allow direct deposit for the DCSA, and then opt out of the direct deposit for the HCSA plan.

Reimbursement Period

Only covered expenses incurred between January 1 of the calendar year for which you have made your election and March 15 of the following plan year will be considered eligible for reimbursement provided that all expenses are submitted by April 15 of that following plan year. For example, if you elected to contribute to DCSA for the 2010 calendar year, eligible expenses incurred between January 1, 2010 and March 15, 2011 would need to be submitted for reimbursement by April 15, 2011. The period from January 1 to March 15 of the following plan year, is referred to as a "grace period." The grace period is only available if you fully contributed to the plan during the prior calendar year.

An important tip regarding the grace period: During the grace period, claims are subject to a first-in, first-out processing method. If you have claims incurred for the prior plan year, you should submit these claims prior to submitting claims for the current plan year. Claims submitted for the current plan year will be applied toward any remaining balance during the grace period.
