Increasing DC FSA goal amount mid-year?

Under the newest legislative relief package, the limit for dependent care was increased to $10,500. Is anyone implementing this? We ran a quick test in our development environment, running the BN105, and found that it isn't really allowing a subsequent change past the $5000 limit. Thoughts?

We are planning on implementing the change but were waiting for further guidance on the provision before trying anything. Perhaps some Infor and/or BSI updates are also needed before the change can be made?

We did this in our DEVL environment and after updating the BN18.5 and then ran BN105. I was able to update an employee election on BN32 without issue.

Hello, I was able to implement this change by simply changing the existing contribution limit from 5000 to 10500 on BN15, plan setup, contribution tab. I did this in test and was able to increase existing annual elections to the new max and add new enrollments with new maximum amount. I didn't need to run the BN105 because I edited an existing contribution record. I left the 10500 maximum contribution effective 1/1/2021.

Huh. When we tried to change the new line as if an employees wanted to increase their annual contribution from $5000 to $10000 we get the error message "Total of benefits for plan year exceeds plan maximum"

Hi! Assuming you have already overwritten your annual limit for the year with 10,500 from 5,000 in order for the increase to take effect with an employee currently enrolled you must first stop their existing benefit and indicate the number of pay periods (options) contributions have been made and change their per pay and annual amount to equal what has already been contributed. Then, you enter a new benefit record with annual amount being the indifference divided over the remaining number of pay periods (or options). The two annual amounts should not go over $10,500. Let me know if you would like to see an example.
