What if I didn’t sign up during annual enrollment, but I get married or have a baby during the year and would like to have a FSA?

There are times when you may want to enroll in a General-Purpose (medical) or Dependent Care FSA in the middle of the year. Say you have a baby and want to start paying for daycare through a FSA. You can enroll in the middle of the year if you experience an OGB Plan Recognized Qualified Life Event. You have 30 days from the date of your Qualified Life Event to enroll. The list of Qualifying Events is available on the OGB website, under Resources, and helps you to determine whether or not you can enroll in a FSA outside of annual enrollment.
