Enrollment Information

Current participants must re-enroll each year to continue participating. All HCSA and DCAP enrollments must be processed on-line with TASC  between April 3, 2024 and May 1, 2024 – retain a copy of your confirmation page for your reference.

PLEASE NOTE: funds not spent by September 15 following the end of the plan year (or by the end of employment, whichever comes first) are forfeited.
