Services offered by Custom Benefit Administrators
COBRA Administration - COBRA permits individuals and families to
extend health benefits after the loss of employer sponsored coverage, most
commonly at termination of employment. Federal COBRA applies to all employers
with 20 or more employees.
Premium Only Plan (POP) Administration - A POP is a formal plan
that permits employees to pay for their cost of employer sponsored health
benefits with �before-tax� (tax-free) dollars. The benefits that may be paid
for through a POP include group medical, dental, vision, certain supplementary
(voluntary) insurance, LTD, STD and group life insurance.
Flexible Benefit Plan (FBP) Administration � FBP�s, which are
also referred to as �cafeteria plans� or �section 125 plans� offer POP benefits
plus the addition of Health and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts
(FSA�s) and Adoption Assistance Plans. Flexible Benefit Plans can even include
buying and selling vacation days, 401(k) plans and cafeteria �credits�
(or allowance) that can be converted to taxable wages.
Parking, Mass Transit and Van Pooling Plan Administration �
�Parking & transit plans� permit employees to save taxes on qualified parking
and mass transit expenses required for work. Like an FBP, employees and employers
pay no taxes on contributions or reimbursements. Parking & Transit plans may
only be provided on a stand-alone basis (They may not be included in a Flexible
Benefit Plan).
