About Flexible Benefit Plans

Flexible Benefit Plans also known as Cafeteria Plans or Section 125 Plans allow eligible employees to pay for certain health care and dependent care expenses with tax-free dollars. This helps you save money on taxes for insurance premiums, out-of-pocket health care (including over-the-counter medicine), and/or related child or dependent care expenses. Any dollar you defer into the Flexible Spending Plan is withheld before any taxes are deducted. Federal, State, local taxes, including Social Security and Medicare taxes are potentially saved on every dollar you contribute to the plan.
