Through
implementation of a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, employees can save by
eliminating income taxes, and employers can save by eliminating matching
FICA taxes on premium dollars redirected through the Cafeteria Plan.
These Cafeteria Plans or Premium Conversion Plans are allowed by the
Internal Revenue Service to reduce employer and employee payroll taxes.
The Premium Conversion Plan is the most common Section 125 Plan and the
easiest to administer once it has been established.
BCG can assist
your organization draft the documents necessary to establish a Premium
Conversion Plan including a draft Plan Document, a Summary Plan
Description (SPD) that explains the Plan Purpose, Who is Eligible,
How to Enroll and provides all required DOL information along with a
Sample Election Form.
For
organizations who already have a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan established,
BCG can provide an amendment and/or restatement of your previously
established Section 125 Premium Conversion Plan that is personalized for
your institution accompanied by an updated Summary Plan Description (SPD).
