FSA daycare reimbursement help

Looking for advice! Last year I (36F, SC) enrolled in my workplace FSA to set aside pretax funds to pay for Daycare. Long story short I essentially kind of forgot that I signed up for this benefit and have a couple thousand saved in the account. While I was out on short term disability earlier this year I received one email to my Work account letting me know that my benefits would be closing in March and therefore I need to get the money out of my account. Since I was on FMLA and short term disability I missed this email and therefore missed the cut off date. I have already sent two claims to the insurance company which have both been denied. I have one last dispute claim to put in. How can I get this money out of my account? Should I consult my benefits person to help? Is there anything I can do? This is thousands of dollars sitting in this account that I will no longer have access to and it is devastating.
