Household Help

General household help is not eligible. Nursing services are eligible if services are for medical care. Reimbursement can cover room and board if medically necessary. Services can occur in the individual's home or another facility. The caregiver does not need to be a registered nurse as long as services are typically provided by nurses. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, household help reimbursement is not covered by a flexible spending account (FSA), health savings account (HSA), health reimbursement arrangement (HRA), a limited-purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA) or a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA).
