Eligible USW employees will be provided flexible spending credits in the amount of $500. Newly hired eligible Regular Full-Time (RFT), Continuing Limited-Term (CLT) and Temporary Full-Time (TFT) employees shall have access to 100% of Flex Credits for the calendar year, provided their employment commences on or before July 1 of the same calendar year. All eligible RFT, CLT and TFT employees whose employment commences between July 1 and November 30th of each year, will see their Flex Credits prorated by fifty (50%) for the balance of that calendar year. 

Eligible USW employees will make allocation decisions during the month of November of the previous calendar year. All allocations must be made in $50 increments. All eligible employees hired or becoming eligible during a calendar year will be required to direct the allocation of their Flex Credits to HCSA, or TWSA within thirty (30) days of their eligibility date. Allocations must be made within the designated  times, failing which the default allocation of 100% to the HCSA and 0% to the TWSA shall apply.  

Only one election can be made in any year and once made is irrevocable.  

Please note: For the 2023 allocation, existing USW members will already have $200 allocated to TWSA.
