This page provides information on your Flexible Benefits and Transit Expense Plan through the State of Minnesota.

2025 BENEFITS OVERVIEW

2025 Maximum election amounts:

  • MDEA – $3,300
  • DCEA – $5,000 per family
  • PKEA / BVEA – $325 per month for each account

Keep in mind the following:

  • Eligible MDEA participants may be able to carry over up to $640 of their remaining 2024 MDEA funds into the 2025 plan year, as long as you fully fund your 2024 MDEA. A new 2025 election of at least the $100 minimum is also required to qualify for the carryover.
  • There is no DCEA carryover allowed into the 2025 plan year. All DCEA contributions not reimbursed by eligible claim requests will be forfeited.
  • A 2025 PKEA and/or BVEA must be elected by December 31, 2024 to be eligible for account balances to rollover to a 2025 account. Funds are forfeited if a new election of at least $50 is not made.
  • Looking ahead, eligible MDEA participants may be able to carry over up to $660 of their remaining 2025 MDEA funds into the 2026 plan year. The same requirements must be met. You must fully fund your 2025 MDEA and a new 2026 election of at least the $100 minimum is required to qualify for the carryover.
