What is the FSA Start Date for New Hires?

When a new employee with a mid-month hire date enrolls in an FSA within 30 days of that date, their FSA will start on the first of the month following their hire date. New hires with a hire date of the first or last date of the month also have 30 days to enroll, but their FSA's start date will depend on the actual hire date.
