Doing nothing is still a decision.

This month it decides twice: your FSA balance and your health coverage. Both have a default, and both defaults cost you. These two organizers exist so the decision is yours — made on your numbers, before the deadline makes it for you.

The two defaults

• Default one: the plan keeps it. Whatever is left in a health FSA when your plan's year-end rule catches it stays with the plan. Published estimates put forfeitures at over $3 billion a year, about $339 per account on average (BenefAgent, 2026 rules summary). The average isn't the point — your balance and your plan's rule are.
• Default two: last year's plan, next year's prices. If you do nothing during open enrollment, coverage renews on its own — while premiums, provider networks, and drug lists change underneath it. In a 2024 Voya Financial survey, 91% of workers with employer benefits said they usually stick with last year's plan (reported by Money Crashers).

Organizer one — FSA Spend-Down Organizer, $19

What it is: a worksheet-and-calendar system for spending down an FSA balance on care you already need, before your plan's actual deadline.

Exactly what's inside (one ZIP, instant download): a 9-page guide; 8 pages of printables — balance-and-deadline worksheet, November–December incurred-by calendar, planned-care scheduler, receipt vault, claim tracker, eligible-categories checklist, ask-HR script card; and a 3-sheet spreadsheet (Balance & Deadline, Incurred-By Calendar, Claim Tracker). 17 PDF pages total.

The method in one line: find your balance, get your plan's rule (grace period, a carryover capped at $680 for 2026, or neither) in writing with a five-question script, then work backward from the date.

Organizer two — Open Enrollment Comparison Organizer, $19

What it is: a sequence for choosing next year's coverage with your own facts instead of the renewal default.

Exactly what's inside (one ZIP, instant download): a 9-page guide; 8 pages of printables — two gather-your-facts pages (doctors; prescriptions and last year's care), a total-cost worksheet for up to 4 plans, network check, prescription check, deadline calendar, questions for free help; and a 3-sheet spreadsheet (Facts Gather, 4-Plan Total Cost, Deadline Calendar). 17 PDF pages total.

The dates on the calendar: enroll by Dec 15 for coverage starting Jan 1; Jan 15 is the federal final deadline; your state may set its own.

What these are NOT — the honesty field

• Not advice. Neither organizer gives tax, medical, or plan advice. The FSA organizer recommends no election amount and no product to buy; the comparison organizer recommends no plan and decides no eligibility or subsidy — only the official marketplace can do that.
• Not a substitute for the free help. HealthCare.gov, your state marketplace, and certified navigators are free, and the comparison organizer tells you so and gives you the questions to bring them.
• Not a promise. An organizer cannot save you a specific amount of money. It can make sure the decision gets made by you, with the numbers in front of you, before the deadline.

The deadline will make this decision either way. Make it yours first. Both organizers: $19 each, instant download, from Jojo Market World.
