How Section 125 Tax Savings Support Financial Wellness at Work

 

To remain competitive in the market place, employers are looking for new solutions that will encourage employee financial wellness without increasing costs as well as administrative responsibilities. With the support from Life Strong Care, Life Flex provides a stand-out program that will encompass Section 125, both fully managed PCMP and SIMRP. By integrating these elements, Life Flex delivers substantial Section 125 tax savings while enriching benefit options for employees, at zero out-of-pocket cost to the employer.

 

What Is the Life Flex Program?

Life Flex is far more than a traditional Section 125 plan. It includes:

• A Section 125 plan for pre-tax elections
  
  
• A Preventative Care Management Plan (PCMP) to drive preventive health actions
  
  
• A Self-Insured Medical Reimbursement Plan (SIMRP) to reimburse eligible medical expenses
  
  

This combination creates one of the most compliant and benefit-rich programs available. Instead of simply allowing pre-tax deductions, Life Flex channels those savings into robust wellness and supplemental coverage, delivering tangible value for employers and employees.

 

How Section 125 tax savings Power Financial Wellness

At the core of Life Flex lies the power of section 125 tax savings. Employees lower their taxable income when they allocate part of their earnings toward eligible benefits before taxes. This approach:

• Reduces employer payroll taxes—about $680 per W-2 employee per year
  
  
• Maintains employees’ net take-home pay while providing enriched benefits
  
  
• Funds preventive and supplemental care with the tax differential
  
  

By reinvesting these tax advantages into employee health and wellness, Life Flex fosters a culture of financial security and proactive healthcare.
