Dependent FSA trends
The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in some big changes to our lifestyles that affected FSAs, including our need for daycare and other dependent care-related services. As a result, dependent care FSA average contributions declined in 2020. However, within the 亚洲色吧 benefits platform, we saw a rebound in average contributions in 2021 and 2022. Here are the last five years:
| Year | Avg. contribution |
