Abstract: An debit-card system for accessing funds in a participants Flexible Spending Account is provided. A method is provided that substantially eliminates the paperwork component of claims processing, and assures substantial compliance with the IRS rules. The debit-card system and method provide a virtually seamless transaction between the participant and the service provider. Compliance is accomplished through the creation of a sponsor shadow account that mirrors each sponsor's group account. Transactions are posted to the sponsor shadow account pending adjudication. Upon approval as a qualified expense, the transaction amount will be removed from the sponsor shadow account and posted to the individual participant's FSA. In this way, non-qualified expenses should never be posted to the participant's FSA, thereby substantially eliminating the potential risks and penalty for both plan sponsors and plan participants.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting and thus preventing check fraud utilizing a digital computer with image capture and interpretation systems. The system converts the payee information, issue date and the MICR line information (account number, check number and dollar amount) to a check digit which is then placed into the MICR line of a check, printed on its face or transmitted via the paid issuance file to the drawee bank. The drawee bank, upon presentment utilizes a transformation algorithm to convert the printed payee information and issue date on the check into a numerical value that is combined with MICR line information and a check digit is calculated based upon pre-agreed logic. This unique data processing system quickly confirms properly presented checks while effectively precludes payee and other alterations in a cost effective manner.
