- Do you know all the ways to save in each plan? If you don’t participate in both consider adding a plan:
- MCAP eligible expenses (plan savings maximum of $2,550)
- DCAP eligible expenses (plan savings maximum of $5,000)
- Re-enroll during Benefit Choice beginning May 1, 2015. Re-enrollment is not automatic, so you must re-enroll to continue your pre-tax savings next year!

MCAP keeps getting better!
- More Savings: contribute up to a higher maximum of $2,550 pre-tax dollars.
- Less Risk: carry over up to $500 in your account to the following plan year. Any balance exceeding $500 after September 30 will still be forfeited per IRS regulations.
