OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR SECTION 125/FLEX

There are a few rules that you should be aware of relating to Healthcare Reform (PPACA): 

  1. Health FSA - employees in the Health FSA must be eligible to enroll in your major medical group plan.  If there is no major medical group plan offered then you may not sponsor a Health FSA.  

  2. Health FSA with employer credits - the maximum employer credit allowed is the greater of 100% employer match of employee deductions or a $500 employer credit

  3. Individually Owned Premium (IOP) - where the policy is owned by the individual and is not a group policy, the IOP can only reimburse dental, vision, and specified disease premiums.  An IOP can no longer reimburse individual major medical premiums as pre-tax.  This does not affect pre-taxing of GROUP major medical premiums. 

For optional Health FSA carryover:
