11. You may be prompted to enter your dependents Social Security Number. If you do not have this

information, you can enter a reason why the number is not available and then click Continue.

Note: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that everyone have qualifying insurance, qualify for an exemption, or potentially pay a tax penalty. As part of the ACA, employers must file an annual report with the IRS that includes Social Security numbers for all employees, spouses, and dependent children enrolled in your medical insurance. One purpose of the report is to show the IRS that employees and their dependents have qualifying health coverage so they won't be subject to ACA's individual-mandate tax penalty. Therefore, it is important to provide your dependent’s Social Security Number.

12. Next, enroll or waive coverage in the Flexible Spending Accounts. If you are enrolling in the FSA plan,

you can enter your annual election in the “How much do you want to contribute for the total year?” or

you can enter the amount you wish to come out of each pay check. Please keep in mind that FSA

deductions come out of 24 pay periods for the year (not 26 pay periods).
