The answer is NO! If you were enrolled in a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) for 2011, do not throw away your current debit card! You will use the same card again in 2012. If you do need to obtain additional cards, there will be a $5 fee for each additional card.
Also note that after December 31, 2011, when you use your HCSA debit card, it will withdraw from your 2012 HCSA. You may continue to use your 2011 funds through March 15, 2012, but you must pay for eligible items or services first and submit receipts for reimbursement, rather than using your debit card.Continue Reading… If I enrolled in a 2012 HCSA, can I throw away last year’s Benny debit card?
