Unako (Okokugqibela) Ukubuyiselwa imali ngeeMveliso zeXesha, Enkosi kuMthetho woNcedo lweCoronavirus

Ngokuqinisekileyo ayisiyonto ilula ukujonga iimveliso zokuya exesheni njengemfuneko yonyango. Ekugqibeleni, baphathwa ngolo hlobo phantsi kwezikhokelo ze-HSA kunye ne-FSA. Enkosi kwiphakeji entsha yenkcitho ye-coronavirus e-U.S., Iimveliso zokuya exesheni ngoku zithengwa ngokufanelekileyo kuhlobo ngalunye lweakhawunti yokonga.

Utshintsho luyinxalenye yomThetho weCoronavirus Aid, Relief, kunye noQoqosho (CARES), uMongameli uDonald Trump awusayine wangumthetho ngoMatshi 27. Wongeza izilungiso kwimithetho malunga neendleko ezamkelweyo kwiiakhawunti zokonga impilo (HSA) kunye nenkcitho eguqukayo. amalungiselelo (FSA) inkcitho. Abantu ngoku baya kukwazi ukusebenzisa imali kulo naluphi na uhlobo lweeakhawunti ukuthenga iimveliso zokuya exesheni. Umthetho oyilwayo uchaza imveliso yokuya exesheni njenge "tampon, ipad, liner, ikomityi, isipontshi, okanye imveliso efanayo esetyenziswa ngabantu malunga nokuya exesheni okanye ezinye iimfihlo ze-genital-tract secretions." Umthetho we-CARES wenza ukuba amayeza angakhutshwanga afaneleke, ngoko ke uya kukwazi ukusebenzisa imali ye-HSA/FSA kunyango lwe-OTC kwiimpawu zexesha, ngokunjalo.

Ke, ungayisebenzisa njani ngokufanelekileyo? Ukuba unayo i-akhawunti ye-FSA okanye ye-HSA, ungasebenzisa ikhadi lebhanki elidityaniswe kwiakhawunti yakho (okanye ungenise iirisithi zokubuyiselwa imali emva koko, kuxhomekeke kwisicwangciso sakho) xa ugcina impahla. Ukuhlaziya: I-HSA yi-akhawunti yokonga yangaphambi kwerhafu onokuthi uyivule ngephakheji yeenzuzo zomqeshi wakho okanye ngokusebenzisa umthengisi okanye ibhanki. Ungasebenzisa imali kwiakhawunti ukuhlawulela iindleko ezifanelekileyo ezinxulumene nezempilo ezinje ngeekopi kunye nemigqaliselo (kwaye ngoku, enkosi kuMthetho weCARES, iimveliso zokuya exesheni). Ii-FSA ziyafana, kodwa iimali aziqengqeli unyaka nonyaka kwaye kufuneka zisetelwe kwiphakheji yezibonelelo zabasebenzi. (Idibeneyo: I-5 ebalulekileyo yokuThatha kwi-Oscar-Winning Film "Ixesha. Ukuphela kwesigwebo.")

Ezi ziindaba ezimnandi kuye nabani na onalo naluphi na uhlobo lweakhawunti yokonga. Kodwa xa kufikwa kwirhafu yokuthengisa, i-30 ithi isaqokelela into ebizwa ngokuba yi "tapon tax" kwiimveliso zokuya esikhathini. IWashington yaba lilizwe lakutshanje lokuphelisa irhafu yokuthengisa kwiimveliso zokuya exesheni xa irhuluneli uJay Inslee watyikitya ityala elitsha ekuqaleni kuka-Epreli. Amaqela afana ne-Period Equity kunye ne-PERIOD bebesilwela ukuphela kwetax ye-tampon kuwo onke ama-50, besithi iimveliso zokuya exesheni ziyimfuneko hayi kubunewunewu. (Jonga: Kutheni le nto wonke umntu ejongene namaxesha ngoku?)

Nokuba imeko yakho imi phi kwirhafu ngeli xesha, isephantsi komthetho weCARES. Ukuba unayo i-FSA okanye i-HSA, esi sisibonelelo esinye oya kufuna ukusisebenzisa, kuba indleko yokufumana ixesha iyongeza ngokuhamba kwexesha.
