[Health Insurance] 58, Section 125 Cafeteria Plans
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Section 125 plans let employees pay for qualified benefits with pre-tax dollars, lowering their taxable income. - The core choice in a cafeteria plan is between receiving taxable cash salary or non-taxable benefits. - Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are governed by the strict "use-it-or-lose-it" rule where unused funds are forfeited. - A plan may offer a limited exception to the FSA forfeiture rule: either a grace period or a small rollover, but never both. - Eligibility is a key exam trap; self-employed individuals and partners are generally ineligible to participate.
