Dear Valued Clients and Associates, I am very excited that the warm weather is starting to make its way into the area! My fig tree already has around 20 figs, daffodils and tulips are popping up everywhere and my chickens are so happy with all the worms and insects the rain is bringing to the surface for them. What’s more exciting than the arrival of spring? The clients we have been able to help, already this year, by creating benefit offerings that align with their goals and save them money off their bottom line!

Dear Valued Clients and Associates, Did you set a New Year’s Resolution? How’s it going? Maybe your resolution was to double and triple check how compliant your organization is? This month I want to talk a little bit about compliance regarding POP/Section 125. If you are not familiar with what this is, POP stands for Premium Only Plan which is a way for employees to pay for their benefits with pretax dollars. Here are some things to consider: Are you an LLC, S Corp or Partnership and contributing to your POP plan? If you are, there is reason for concern. Is your POP discriminatory?? Do you have a written POP doc? When was the last time it was updated? Do your employees reenroll prior to the beginning of each year? Does your document allow rollover?
