Why Should Our Company Consider an
ADMIN AMERICA POP Now?

Every day your employees pay for their payroll deducted insurance premiums with after tax dollars, you and your employees are losing money. A ADMIN AMERICA Simplified Premium Only Plan ("POP") will increase employee paychecks while saving you F.I.C.A. taxes! Under "Section 125" of the Internal Revenue Code, employers are allowed to offer Flexible Benefits Plans, such as a POP, to their employees. Both the employer and the employees will benefit with tax savings as a result of this arrangement.

When the rules of Section 125 are followed, employers may deduct employee paid premiums for certain group health and disability related benefits on a tax-exempt basis. This means the employer pays less F.I.C.A. tax and the employee will pay less F.I.C.A. and income taxes. Employees will actually see an immediate increase in their paycheck. Any single employer and some "related employers" such as controlled groups or members of an affiliated service group may establish a POP. Some individuals are prohibited from participating in these plans, such as partners in a partnership, owners of an S-Corporation or sole proprietors. Although these individuals are not allowed to personally participate, their employees can utilize the tax savings offered by these plans and the employer still enjoys the FICA savings.

Specific employer and employee savings depend on the total amount employees contribute towards Section 125 qualified benefits. These tables demonstrate the savings available when you implement a ADMIN AMERICA POP. How many other opportunities do you have to increase wages at negative cost to you?
