Retirement Seminar – *New Time*

APFA Retirement Specialist, Patrick Hancock, will be hosting another Retirement Seminar here in PHL on Wednesday, March 30th, from 11:30am to 2:30pm, in the Tour Room. The Tour Room is located inside security, between concourses C & D. This is an incredibly informative meeting for anyone who is ready to retire, contemplating retirement, or preparing to retire in a few years. You may email Patrick with any questions at [email protected].

2015 Healthcare Flexible Spending Account Reminder

If you had a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (a.k.a. “Flexible Spending Account” or “FSA”) for the 2015 plan year, there is a grace period that extends into 2016 for your 2015 expenses if you still have a remaining account balance. You can use your 2015 FSA for services rendered between Jan. 1, 2015 and the extended grace period deadline of March 15, 2016. 

You must submit claims to Your Spending Account (YSA) no later than June 15, 2016, and the funds will not be available to use for claims with service dates after March 15, 2016.

Daylight Saving Time 2016: Time to Spring Forward This Weekend
