BASE® 125 Cafeteria Plan

Overview

BASE® 125 Cafeteria Plan allows employers to customize benefits and save money. Employers that sponsor a BASE® 125 Cafeteria Plan can allow employees who are paying medical expenses, insurance premiums or dependent care expenses to do so on a pre-tax basis. The BASE® 125 Cafeteria Plan will help provide access to quality benefits, while providing a variety of affordable benefit options that stand alone or compliment any health insurance plan in place. Due to the flexibility of this benefit, participants can choose one or all four of the following pre-tax options to offer employees:
