**Q: **Can I use my Dependent Care FSA to pay for my child’s after-school program?
A: Yes, if the after-school program provides care that allows you (and your spouse, if married) to work or look for work. The program must primarily provide care and supervision and not education. After-school programs at elementary schools, daycare centers, and licensed childcare providers typically qualify. However, programs that are primarily educational (like tutoring) generally don’t qualify, even if they occur after school hours.
Remember to keep receipts showing the provider’s name, your child’s name, dates of service, and amount paid. The care must be for children under age 13 or dependents who are physically or mentally incapable of self-care.
