Zane Benefits Publishes New Information on Defined Contribution Plan (DCP) Rules
Park City, Utah (PRWEB) January 17, 2014 -- Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on Defined Contribution Plan (DCP) Rules.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, a new wave of employers, especially small businesses and nonprofits, are offering employees health benefits with an approach called "pure" defined contribution health plans, or DCPs. The DCP is offered using a limited-purpose Section 105 medical reimbursement plan.
Zane Benefits provides the rules on how DCPs work for employees. For example, with a DCP an employer may require employees to have health insurance to be eligible for reimbursement through the DCP. Other rules include:
- According to IRS rules, the employer owns the DCP allowances and DCPs are fully funded by the employer.
- Typically, DCP allowances do not earn interest because the allowances usually are not held in individual bank accounts.
- Most often, the unused money stays with the employer when an employee terminates employment.
