That the Board of School Directors approves the Adoption Agreement that would continue the Flexible Spending 125 plan with CBIZ.

Public Content

This is a renewal of the CBIZ Flexible 125 plan. This plan is used for pretax contributions that can be used towards medical and dependent care coverage. The federal government has changed the amount allowable to be contributed from $3,000 to $2,500 per plan year. This change has created the need for a new adoption agreement to be put into place. The cost of this service was paid for by Kades-Margolis prior to the 2012-2013 school year. The cost for this program to the district is now $2 per contract per month or approximately $1,200.00 per year.
