Employees of Executive Branch agencies and other participating agencies who are eligible for the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program (whether enrolled in FEHB or not) may enroll in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) in the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program (FSAFEDS).

Please note that some agencies have their own flexible spending account programs and their employees are not eligible for FSAFEDS.
