(PRWEB)
Zane Benefits, the leader in Defined Contribution and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) solutions for business health benefits, today published a quick guide to premiums that are reimbursable under a Section 125 Premium Only Plan (POP).
A Section 125 Premium-Only-Plan (POP) is a cafeteria plan that allows employees to pay their health insurance premiums with tax-free dollars. Since 2009, employees have been able to use POP plans to pay individual health insurance premiums with tax-free dollars.
Using Section 125 POP to pay for insurance premiums benefits both employers and their employees. Several states actually require Section 125 plans for certain employers, and other states have enacted specific regulations without requirements. Be sure to check your state’s regulations.
