Premium Only Plans (POP) - Section 125 Cafeteria Plans

A Premium Only Plan, also known as a POP plan, is a popular cost-savings vehicle born out of Internal Revenue Code section 125. A POP plan helps reduce a company's costs by allowing its employees to pay for qualified health care premiums with pre-tax dollars. As a result, both the employer and employees have much to gain from POP plans.

Employer benefits

For employers, the benefits of instituting a POP plan are significant:

• Employers save on payroll taxes when employees make pre-tax contributions, which ultimately decrease the amount of taxable pay.
• Premium Only Plan fees are tax deductible as a business expense.
• Tax savings often cover the entire cost of administering a Premium Only Plan.

Employee benefits

Employees can also benefit from their company's Premium Only Plan:

• Employee contributions are made with pre-tax dollars, saving them an average of 30 percent on qualified insurance premiums every year.
• Employees' total take-home pay increases, increasing their cash flow.
