The policy or rule is so unclear and depends on who explains it. If as what they said that we only could use the added FSA amount to cover the expense incurred after the baby was born. Let's say the delivery service can't be covered using the new FSA money because it happened before the baby came out. But I have already put in $1000 in the current FSA, am I able to use this old $1000 to pay the delivery cost? I would argue that I used the old FSA money to pay the delivery cost. The hospital expense incurred after the baby is born. Am I able to use the new added $1000 to pay the 2-3 days hospital expense? I would argue that I should be able to use the new FSA money because it incurred after the baby was born. Well the FSA plan admin has to figure out all of these before and after and calculate the percentage of new/old money in the FSA account. It is like they have nothing else more important to do. How ridiculous! I will find out all of these next year and update the post later.
Another question about Dependent care account change after new baby'r birth: According to the rule, election need to be done within 30 days after baby is born. But can I use the money for another child instead of the new born? My HRI don't know the answer.
service able was born.

顺产的话,住院两天,$150就够了? Hospital will bill you additional.
I think as long as the child is your dependent you can use the money from the Dependent Care account to pay for the day care. You can argue that you can't handle both kids at home after the new baby is born.That is a family status change incurred consequence. The receipt does have the child name, day care name + tax id and the start/ end date of the service.
