Flexible Spending
Accounts (FSA)
Set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health and dependent care expenses for you and your eligible family members.
CF Industries partners with Fidelity Reimbursement Account Services (Fidelity) to administer our three Flexible Spending Account options — the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA), the Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (Limited Purpose HCFSA) and the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA).
You are eligible to participate in our FSA program on your first day of work. If you elect to participate in our FSA program, contributions will be taken out of your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, in equal amounts. For the HCFSA and Limited Purpose HCFSA, your full annual balance is available to you upfront for immediate use. The DCFSA funds are available as your contributions post to your account throughout the year.
Our three types of FSA options are:
Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA)
