Section 125(FSA) and Section105(HRA) Document Preparation

Section 125 Plans allow for certain benefits to be paid for with pre-tax dollars. Substantial savings can be realized by both the employer and the employee under this arrangement. You will hear "Section 125 Plan", "Cafeteria Plan", "Medical Reimbursement Accounts", "Dependent Care Accounts", "Premium Offset Plans" and "Flexible Spending Accounts" all used in conjunction with Section 125 of the IRC. Some are used interchangeably. Whether the same or unique, all require formal plan documentation.

The same holds true for Section 105 plans, known as "Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangement" or "Healthcare Reimbursement Accounts", both referred to as HRA. HRA Plans allow the employer to fund certain qualified medical expenses for the employee. The funds expended through a HRA plan are tax deductible by the employer and tax free to the employee.

Under IRS and DOL Guidelines, documentation is required to authorize and establish a Section 125 Plan and a HRA Plan. The following are prepared by Concepts in Benefits, Inc. (CBI®) for our clients::
