If you have a flexible spending account, you could be facing a use-it-or-lose-it deadline to spend down those funds before the end of the year. Flexible spending accounts, or FSAs, allow workers to set aside pre-tax money to pay for qualified medical or dependent care expenses. About 70% of FSA account holders have a Dec. 31 deadline to spend their funds, according to FSA Store, an online retailer for FSA-eligible products. However, it's important to note that for many other FSA account holders, neither of those options apply, Rouleau said. If that's the case, "you really want to make sure you're tracking to Dec. 31 and spending down your funds appropriately before that date," Rouleau said.

CNN —A crucial dam is at risk as fighting continues in several areas of northern Syria between Kurdish groups and Turkish-backed factions. However, video surfaced Friday purporting to show fighters from a Turkish-backed group in control of the bridge over the dam. Some experts have expressed concern that the fighting could damage the dam and cause extensive flooding of more than 40 villages downstream. The SDF has been a US ally since 2017 in the battle to eradicate ISIS, the terror group which at one point held a large swathe of northern Syria. The SDF and other Kurdish elements have controlled several enclaves in northern Syria since regime control in the north evaporated when ISIS was at its height in 2015.

A traditional IRA can be funded with before-tax dollars (thereby reducing the money you have to pay income tax on for 2024). If you give them to a grandchild, their capital gains basis is the value of the shares the day they receive them. Whereas if you first sold the shares directly you’d owe capital gains tax on the $8,000 gain, leaving you with anywhere from 15% to 37% less in cash to give them, depending on whether the gain was short- or long-term and depending on your tax bracket.

Your open enrollment period will depend on where you get your health coverage. Instead, it's important to think through your specific health needs and the needs of any dependents or partners on your plan.

The Education Department said student-loan company MOHELA failed to process borrower applications for income-driven repayment plans. AdvertisementThe Education Department notified student-loan company MOHELA on Tuesday that it would be facing penalties for failing to perform the servicing obligations required in its contract. According to a document from the Education Department reviewed by Business Insider, MOHELA has failed to process over 460,000 applications for borrowers on income-driven repayment plans, preventing those borrowers from accessing more affordable monthly payments. "Federal Student Aid has determined, through its oversight of federal student loan servicers, that MOHELA has not consistently met the Department's standards for serving borrowers. In January, the department withheld pay from the remaining three major federal servicers over failure to deliver on-time billing statements to borrowers.

For nearly a decade, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been working to enforce oversight over Navient, a major student-loan company. Warren and some of her Democratic colleagues were concerned that the company was not properly managing student-loan borrowers' payment options, causing them to accumulate unaffordable student debt. However, it released an accountability framework in December that outlined enforcement actions it would take should servicers harm borrowers, including fining servicers and transferring borrowers to better-performing servicers. For example, MOHELA was the first servicer to be hit with a $7 million fine last October for failing to send on-time billing statements to over 2 million borrowers. Terminate MOHELA's contract and put loan services on notice: we will not tolerate your negligence and exploitation; we will not let you profiteer off vulnerable student borrowers."

The Education Department is assuring schools and students that its financial aid process is under control, after a botched overhaul over the past year that some colleges say has dented incoming classes. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona has vowed that the FAFSA process is being improved after recent missteps. I want to close up [the] Department of Education, move education back to the states. In May, Cardona announced a “full-scale review” of the Federal Student Aid office that oversees FAFSA and promised “transformational changes” at the division.

Financial aid administrators continue to deal with problems even as the school year quickly approaches.

On Monday, some 220 dancers stopped a rehearsal along the banks of Paris’ River Seine – along which the Opening Ceremony is due to take place – to protest inequalities in pay and housing conditions between the dancers. This year’s Opening Ceremony will be the first ever held on a river. Some 104,000 people in stands lining the River Seine will watch the event, with 220,000 more on raised roadways along a six-kilometer (nearly four miles) stretch of the river, according to French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. For years, French officials had boasted that some 600,000 people would attend the Opening Ceremony, but that number has been slashed due to safety concerns.

CNN —The Biden administration moved Friday to terminate a decades-old agreement that governs conditions for migrant children in government custody, according to a court filing, which argues that the settlement was meant to be temporary. The 1997 Flores settlement, as the agreement is known, requires the government to release children from government custody without unnecessary delay to sponsors, like parents or adult relatives, and dictates conditions by which children are held. “The Rule is expansive and responsive to the changing needs of ORR’s (Unaccompanied Children) Program. But immigration attorneys have expressed concern over the lack of outside oversight if the Flores settlement is terminated. “If the government were to prevail in its motion, HHS would no longer be bound by the Flores settlement.

The announcement of Cordray’s departure comes as his office has been under fire for problems with a new version of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, released late last year. “If there was a financial aid director, or even a college president, that delayed financial aid on their campus for up to six months, the professional price that would be paid for that would be pretty steep,” Justin Draeger, president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, told lawmakers. Cordray’s tenureAs the head of FSA, Cordray oversaw not only the FAFSA but also the entire $1.6 trillion federal student loan system. It also sued Navient, one of the biggest federal student loan servicers, for allegedly processing payments incorrectly.

An HSA, or health savings account, is a type of flexible spending account geared towards qualified medical expenses.

Numerous hiccups in the rollout of the updated Free Application for Federal Student Aid have upended this year's financial aid award season. By now, most of the problems with submitting the form have been resolved, but getting the FAFSA information from the ED's Federal Student Aid office to colleges has introduced another slew of issues. "Continually taking two steps forward and one giant step back is not a sustainable pathway toward getting financial aid offers out to students and families." Outside of those erroneous forms being reprocessed, FSA said as of April, schools should start receiving students' financial information within one to three business days of the student submitting their FAFSA. Still, some students may feel the pressure to commit to a school before they've seen all the financial aid offers available to them or skip the FAFSA — and potentially college — process altogether.
