Get Section 125 Plan

IRS code Section 125 allows an employer to set up a Premium Only Plan (POP), where an employee's insurance premium contributions can be deducted from his or her payroll on a pre-tax basis. This can save employees up to 40% on income taxes and payroll taxes. The employer also saves on these taxes.

With Section 125 Spending Accounts, you can use pre-tax earnings to pay for two types of expenses: (1) dependent day care costs, in or out of your home; or, (2) health care expenses like medical plan co-pays, deductibles, or other expenses that are not covered under your health insurance plan.

A premium only plan (POP) is the most basic – and most popular – type of Section 125 Cafeteria Plan that allows employer-sponsored premium payments to be paid by the employee on a pre-tax basis instead of after-tax.

Starting a section 125 plan requires following these three simple steps: Complete the necessary plan documents. Notify employees that you are offering a Section 125 cafeteria plan. Hire a TPA to administer your Section 125 plan and process reimbursements.
