Health Care Reimbursement

HCRAs offer clients a cost effective way to pay for such items as medical and dental plan deductibles/co-payments, eyeglasses, contact lenses, orthodontics and other health-related expenses that may not be covered by insurance. The amount employees contribution to their HCRA and the amount reimbursed from their HCRA are income tax-free. The amount contributed to an HCRA is not subject to Federal, State, or FICA taxes.

Employees determine their annual expenses, and enroll for an HCRA deduction. In addition, an Employer may make a contribution to an employees account.

 

Dependent Care Reimbursement

DCRA accounts are set up to help employees pay for work-related dependent care expenses with income tax-free dollars.

If an employee is paying for dependent care expenses now, they are   paying in taxable dollars and probably taking the Federal Tax Credit at      the end of the year. By using the DCRA these expenses are paid for in pretax dollars throughout the year, eliminating the need to use the tax credit at the end of the year. In most instances, the tax savings is much greater using the DCRA
rather than through the tax credit.

 

 

Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRA)

 

Pursuant to Section 105 of the IRS Code, HRAs allow employers to set aside a specific amount annually for employees to use to pay for health care expenses, as defined by the Plan.  Generally, we use the HRA to reimburse employees for portions of their deductibles. All employer contributions to the plan are deductible for the employer and are tax-free to the employee
