Your cost per paycheck
IRS Code Section 125 The Remita Health employee benefit plans are designed under Section 125 of the IRS Code. This
allows you to take advantage of federal laws by purchasing some of your benefits with pre-tax dollars. Under Section
125, your Medical, Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending and Health Savings Account contributions are deducted before taxes
are withheld which saves you tax dollars. Paying for benefits before-tax means that your share of the costs is deducted
before taxes are determined, resulting in more take-home pay for you. As a result, the IRS requires that your elections
remain in effect for the entire year. You cannot drop or change coverage unless you experience a qualifying event. You
may waive participation in the Section 125 Plan and elect to pay all contributions with after-tax dollars. Contact the
Human Resources Department if you wish to pay for your benefits with after-tax dollars.
