What is a 125 Flex Plan
A Flex Plan is an employer-sponsored benefit that allows employees to be
reimbursed for certain expenses tax-free. Employees save federal, state,
social security and Medicare taxes on those dollar amounts, thus increasing
their take-home pay. Flex Plans are part of the Internal Revenue Code, section
125, and are designed to give employees the opportunity to pay for certain
eligible living expenses with tax-free dollars. Before a Plan Year begins
employees elect to have a certain amount of their salary designated as tax-free.
These tax-free election amounts are to be used for eligible expenses in
the Flex Plan. Employers also benefit by providing a Flex Plan because they
do not have to pay FICA (7.65%) on employees’ Flex election amounts.
For more information see the Flex
Brochure.
