This message applies to members of the Regular (active) Component, the U.S. Army Reserve performing Active Guard Reserve (AGR) duty, and the United States Army National Guard performing AGR duty. It announces that Soldiers may enroll or re-enroll in a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) during federal open season from 11 November through 9 December 2024 or with a qualifying life event. The DCFSA is a pre-tax account used to pay for eligible dependent care services, such as preschool, transportation to and from eligible care (provided by Care provider), emergency childcare, au pair/nanny, adult care (for eligible dependents), before or after-school programs, day camps, and childcare. Contributions are directly deposited from pay into a DCFSA before taxes are deducted, which reduces a servicemember's taxable income. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1350672
