If your plan has the roll over feature on your OTC allowance benefit, your unused balance will roll over to the next period (month or quarter) and will expire at the end of the plan benefit year on Dec. 31st. If your OTC allowance benefit does not roll over, it expires at the end of each month or quarter depending on your plan.
