A Section 125 Plan lets you do all of this and more. The best part? It’s 100% IRS-approved.

What Is a Section 125 Plan?

How Does a Section 125 Plan Work?

When an employer sets up a Section 125 Plan, employees can choose to contribute pre-tax earnings toward eligible benefits such as:

  • Health insurance premiums 🏥
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) 💳
  • Dependent care expenses 👶
  • Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) 🏦

Since contributions are deducted before taxes, employees keep more of their paycheck while getting the coverage they need.
