Flex Spending Accounts

What is a Flex Plan?

A Flex Plan allows a participant to set aside dollars each year from their paycheck to pay for qualified health and dependent care expenses through a Section 125 Cafeteria Account. These dollars are deducted from wages before any income or social security taxes are paid. By using this tax savings plan, participants will notice an increase in take home pay and have access to a reimbursement account throughout the year to pay for qualified expenses. Employers will not have to pay FICA or FUTA taxes on dollars run through the plan. Additionally, employers have the option of adding on a defined contribution plan set-up and an online enrollment tool.

Elected Benefits in a Flex Plan

Health Flexible Spending Accounts (Health FSA) allow participants to set aside dollars for qualified out-of-pocket health care expenses, up to a maximum contribution amount set by the employer. Funds are available on day 1 of the plan year and can be used to pay eligible expenses for the employee, spouse and dependents.
Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) allows participants to set aside dollars for children (under age 13) or adult day care so that the participant may work. The IRS sets the annual maximum contribution amount for the DCAP account.
