UTFLEX DCRA Funding Timing Update

Employees enrolled in a UTFLEX Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA) may notice a slight delay in the availability of monthly funds. Due to a recent process change, DCRA contributions will now be funded a few days after payroll has been confirmed each month.

This change impacts the timing of when funds become available in DCRA accounts but does not affect deduction amounts or eligibility. Employees should plan accordingly when submitting dependent care reimbursement requests.

What you need to know:

  • DCRA payroll deductions will continue as normal.
  • Monthly DCRA funding may be delayed by a few days after payroll processing is complete.
  • Reimbursement requests may be affected until funds are posted to your account.

For questions regarding UTFLEX DCRA funding or reimbursements, contact the People Services team at askhr@uta.edu for assistance.
