Congressional inquiries often make sense as companions to formal military complaint procedures. The militaryâs response to a Congressional inquiry depends very much on the attitude, experience, and dedication of the Congressional caseworker.Caseworkers contact the military on behalf of a servicemember and ask for an explanation of the militaryâs actions.A standard Congressional inquiry consists of a cover letter and a copy of the servicememberâs letter, which is forwarded to the appropriate Serviceâs legislative liaison office.owever, a Memberâs only direct power over the military is through votes on legislation and, although a Congressional officeâs active involvement can be invaluable, caseworkers cannot order the military to take certain actions.
Expenses reimbursed under a DepCare FSA may not be used to claim any federal income tax deduction or credit. Although you may not claim any other tax benefit for the tax-free amounts received by you under the DepCare FSA, the balance of your eligible work-related expenses may be eligible for the dependent care credit.
The main benefit of an FSA is that the money set aside in the account is pretax, thus reducing the amount of our income subject to taxes. For someone in the 28% federal tax bracket, this income reduction means saving $280 in federal taxes for every $1,000 spent on dependent care with an FSA.
