AUSTIN (KXAN) — If you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, you can use those funds for certain medical and dental expenses.FSAs can also cover thousands of medical products and services. But new IRS rules this year mean by Dec. 31, "if you don't use it, you lose it." Experts say consumers are losing out on a lot of unspent money.“Billions of dollars are lost every single year by customers across the United States who either don't know how to spend their FSA funds or forget that this is their opportunity to do it,” said Laurentia Romaniuk with Instacart.According to HealthCare.gov, an FSA is an arrangement through your employer that lets you pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses with tax-free dollars, but some shoppers may run into obstacles.“Some big box stores do accept FSA and HSA cards. Not all do, in fact, many don’t," said Romaniuk.As a trend expert for Instacart, Romaniuk found a growing demand from consumers wanting an easier option.“This holiday seas...

By JIM HEINTZ (Associated Press)Vladimir Putin on Friday moved to prolong his repressive and unyielding grip on Russia for at least another six years, announcing his candidacy in the presidential election next March that he is all but certain to win.Putin still commands wide support after nearly a quarter-century in power, despite starting an immensely costly war in Ukraine that has taken thousands of his countrymen’s lives, provoked repeated attacks inside Russia — including one on the Kremlin itself — and corroded its aura of invincibility.A short-lived rebellion in June by mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin raised widespread speculation that Putin could be losing his grip, but he emerged with no permanent scars. Prigozhin’s death in a mysterious plane crash two months later reinforced the view that Putin was in absolute control.Putin, who was first elected president in March 2000, announced his decision to run in the March 17 presidential election after a ...

NFL Picks: Crossing our fingers for 7-6 bunch at bottom of AFC playoff race

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:41:42 GMT

Around the AFCPile-up ahead? New England did Denver (and several others) a solid Thursday night by knocking off Pittsburgh on the road. The Steelers, playing Mitch Trubisky in place of the injured Kenny Pickett at quarterback, fell to 7-6 and face a tough road to stay in the playoff picture. They finish with a trip to upstart Indianapolis and quarterback Gardner Minshew, then a home game against Cincinnati and trips to Seattle and Baltimore. Ouch. Long shot here, but let us pray for this sequence of results this weekend: Denver over the Chargers, Buffalo over Kansas City, Bengals over Indy, Jets over Houston and Jacksonville over Cleveland. Why? Because then there’d be seven (!!) AFC teams at 7-6 and total chaos at hand.The Jake Browning Game. How about the Bengals’ back-up quarterback? Browning ripped apart a good Jacksonville defense on Monday night, completing 32 of 37 for 351 yards in an overtime win. It’s still going to be a tough climb for the Bengals without Joe B...

Amanda Frye of Redlands took on the company that owns California’s famous Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water over water rights to Strawberry Creek in the San Bernardino National Forest.
