446 / Is an employer permitted to sponsor health FSAs if it does not otherwise offer health coverage to employees?

No. An employer cannot sponsor a stand-alone health FSA. An employer may only offer a health FSA if it also offers a major medical plan to the health FSA participants, who are not required to accept the offer of coverage in the employer’s major medical plan.
