Multiple Choice

Which savings account type do you lose it if you don't use it?

Flexible Spending Accounts are designed with a use-it-or-lose-it rule. You contribute pre-tax dollars to an FSA to cover qualified medical expenses, and the funds typically must be spent within the plan year (with possible small exceptions like a grace period or limited rollover depending on the plan). If you don’t use the money by the deadline, you forfeit the remaining balance. That “lose it if you don’t use it” behavior is the hallmark of FSAs, which is why this choice fits the question. The other options aren’t savings accounts with that forfeiture rule: the PPO and HMO are types of health insurance plans, and the HRA is an employer-funded account that may have different rollover rules depending on the employer’s design, not the universal use-it-or-lose-it rule.
