If you're earning less than $130,000 a year, you are eligible for an FSA, which the HR team will discuss during almost any company's new-hire orientation...

There are lots of government benefits that are restricted to people below a certain income. That doesn't mean that it is unconscionable to pay people at that income level or to educate employees on what they are eligible for so that they can take advantage of it.

If that income level is the poverty line: Yes, it is.

So then your problem is with the income level, not educating people about benefits they are eligible for.

Assuming you mean a flexible spending account (for healthcare out of pocket), you're certainly not capped at $130K/year in the US. Your broader point is of course true.

If you are single, the limit is 130,000/yr. After that you can have an HSA, but FSA.
