Register and receive a calendar invite

Qualifying Life Events are one of the most commonly misunderstood areas of FSA administration.

For employers, payroll teams, and brokers, the challenge usually isn’t identifying the event—it’s understanding what changes are actually allowed afterward.

This distinction was a common topic during our recent webinar on payroll deductions and FSA timing, where many attendees sought clarification on how QLEs affect elections, mid-year changes, and compliance responsibilities.

Join Sterling Administration for a practical 30-minute session focused on navigating QLEs and their impact on FSA plans.

In this session, we’ll cover:

  • How Qualifying Life Events affect FSA elections
  • What mid-year changes are allowed
  • Common QLE scenarios employers encounter
  • Key IRS considerations and compliance reminders
  • A live Q&A with Sterling’s benefits specialists

If your team is involved in benefits administration or supports clients through plan changes, this session will enhance your understanding of QLE handling.
