Frequently Asked Questions
What is FlexEd?
Flexible Education (FlexEd) is a firm-funded employee education benefit that provides Booz Allen employees flexibility and opportunity to pursue external education and skills development for voluntary, job-related training. FlexEd may be used for Academic Assistance, Certifications and Licenses, and other job-related Functional and Technical development (please see the FlexEd Guide and FAQs for more information about what is and is not covered under this benefit). The firm will provide employees the following amounts based on employee length of service (or tenure).
How do I apply for FlexEd?
Apply for FlexEd, track the status of your request, and upload required documentation at FlexEd.bah.com. Contact the Flexed help line with any questions at 1-844-248-0785.
How does my Career Manager approve my FlexEd request?
The FlexEd system will email your CM after you submit an application. Your CM will be instructed to approve the request within FlexEd. You don’t need to do anything!
How long after approval does it take for me to get my advance?
The funds will arrive to your account about 1-2 weeks after CM approval, as long as you’ve uploaded Course Cost Documentation.
What are the types of documents required for my FlexEd request to clear?
There are three types of documentation you should upload into FlexEd (you’ll be prompted to do so on your FlexEd home screen):
—Course Cost Documentation: This should show provider name, course name, course cost, and what that cost includes. Upload before the course starts, right after you complete your initial application;
—Payment Receipt: This should show provider name, course name, course cost, and proof that you paid. Upload after you finish the course, within 30 days of the course end date;
—Course Completion Documentation: This should show provider name, course name, and a confirmation that you completed the course successfully. Upload within 30 days of the course end date.
What if I need to drop out of the course or transfer to a later date?
Contact the FlexEd helpline for guidance on cancelling your FlexEd request, at 1-844-248-0785. If you transfer to a different course or change the course start/end date, you must cancel your FlexEd request, pay the funds back to Booz Allen if you received an Advance, and submit a new FlexEd request with updated course information.
