(POP) Premium Only Plan Rules

(PRWEB) September 18, 2012

Zane Benefits, which provides comprehensive and flexible alternatives to traditional employer-sponsored health benefits, today published an overview of Premium Only Plan rules.

IRS code Section 125 allows an employer to set up a Premium Only Plan (POP), where an employee's insurance premium contributions can be deducted from his or her payroll on a pre-tax basis. There are many advantages of setting up a Premium Only Plan for employees.

By implementing a POP plan, an employer is allowing employees to pay their portion of the employer health insurance premiums with pre-tax dollars, saving employees up to 40% on income taxes alone.

The overview covers the following rules and regulations of a Section 125 Premium Only Plan:

• Which organizations are eligible?
• What documents need to be set up?
• How does a POP plan work?
• What are the nondiscrimination rules?
• Which employees are eligible to enroll?
• How can changes to a POP plan be made during the plan year?
