The computer systems probably won't let the company process the claim. My first job out of college was processing FSA claims and there was literally nothing we could do if someone missed their filing deadline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-the-dependent-care-savings-filing-date-is-there-any-hope-for-our#post-2516429 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 18:11:40 +0000 Corduroy 2516429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: :happy: a glimmer of hope. DH is BEGGING.</p> <p>@NorthStar: Yes. DH likes to do it at the end of the year since we don't get monthly receipts. He/we learned our lesson. We've already spent &gt;$5k in daycare costs in 2016 so DH will for sure be submitting all the paperwork for 2016 this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-the-dependent-care-savings-filing-date-is-there-any-hope-for-our#post-2516373 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 16:49:25 +0000 NorthStar 2516373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: By file, do you mean turn in claims and get reimbursement? I believe that you are past that date, but perhaps, they will give you an exception.</p> <p>I turn in daycare receipts throughout the year and get reimbursements throughout the year. Is that an option for 2016 for you (if that applies going forward)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-the-dependent-care-savings-filing-date-is-there-any-hope-for-our#post-2516361 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 16:26:04 +0000 maybebaby 2516361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh...I hope so. Ours "ends" 3/31 but we have a period until July to file. Are you sure about the filing date? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-the-dependent-care-savings-filing-date-is-there-any-hope-for-our#post-2516359 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 16:23:43 +0000 MamaG 2516359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: Beg the employer, my employer has made exceptions before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-the-dependent-care-savings-filing-date-is-there-any-hope-for-our#post-2516317 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 15:40:24 +0000 MaisyMay 2516317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: call your program and ask/beg but I don't think there will be a good answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/missed-the-dependent-care-savings-filing-date-is-there-any-hope-for-our#post-2516261 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 14:49:07 +0000 Mamaof2 2516261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>unfortunately not - funds not claimed are forfeited.

The deadline was 3/31. Is there anything we can do at this point besides kiss our money goodbye? </p>
