Yes, but what I don't like about it, if you don't use it you lose it. I
don't think this should be the way it should be. This is your money and the
state has no money in it other than managing it. So I don't think it is
right that they steal your hard earned money. Just my thoughts.

I should have mentioned the newer term for these types of accounts is
"Flexible Spending Account", and it includes items purchased over the
counter. therefore, many drug and grocery stores, will have an "F"
beside the items on the receipt which qualify as a medication or medical
item.
