BENNY FSA DEBIT CARD
EMPLOYER ADVANTAGES
The Benny Card is an attractive benefit for employers because it increases employee participation in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). The card drastically reduces the need to file claim forms and virtually eliminates the need to pay cash for eligible expenses, thus increasing the ease of use of the FSA and employee adoption of the program.
- The debit card drives FICA tax savings by increasing flex account participation and contributions
- On average, employers realize a 60% increase in overall dollars contributed to their Flex account plans (new contributions plus the increase in existing contributions)
- Adds value to employee benefits at no additional net cost
