If you take a paid leave of absence, you may continue to participate in the Health Care FSA.

If you take an unpaid leave of absence, your participation will be suspended until you return to active employment. However, you may submit claims for expenses incurred before your leave began. You will need to re-enroll in the FSA within 31 days of your return to work.

To receive a copy of BNY Mellon's Leave of Absence policy or provide the required notice that you are taking a leave of absence, call 1-800-947-4748, option 3.
