So how does that plan work?

First, sign up with Cathy Wilder at the DO.

Then, when SISC sends you a bill, you send back this little Claim Form that instructs them to get the money from your Flex account. (it doesn't have to build a balance- the entire amount you signed up to have deducted is available for use from the start)

But what about if I use the VISA card at a store? First, save the reciept. Then, you'll get a letter that says something like "We see you used your Flex card. How do you want to pay for that?" You send the little claim form with the receipt, and they pay for it from your Flex account.

How do I know how the balance of my Flex account? (to be sure it's all spent by the end of the calendar year) The easiest way is online, at the SISC Flex site: @http://sisc.kern.org/flex/ Can I make changes to my Flex plan after it's set up? No changes can be made during the year. You do sign up anew for each year, though. The plan is a year-by-year deal, calendar year (January to December). It's important to sign up with a deduction amount that is not too high, as you 'use it or lose it'. If you plan well, you'll use the whole Flex account well ahead of time. I haven't heard of any bad experiences here, but it is possible.

I can't think of any other information... Please check the web site, contact me if you have questions or comments. Byron
