Q.- An employee is divorced. His ex-wife claims his son as her tax dependent on her tax return. Can the employee still be reimbursed for medical expenses of his son under his health flexible spending account plan?
A.- Yes. The expenses of an employee's child who is under age 27 as of the end of the taxable year will qualify for reimbursement from a health FSA even if the child does not qualify as the employee's tax dependent.
