Introduction
A Flexible Benefits Plan is a benefit program designed to help employees reduce taxes. Authorized under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, this program allows you to pay certain specific expenses from your pre-tax rather than your after-tax income. All state employees are eligible to participate in the State of Tennessee's Flexible Benefits Plan. Any premiums you pay for state group medical or dental insurance will automatically be paid with tax free earnings through the Flexible Benefits Plan.
Use of the plan to pay other eligible expenses other than medical and dental insurance premiums is not automatic. In order to pay medical expenses or dependent care expenses through the Flexible Benefits Plan, you must file an Election Form each year. Elections filed for previous years do not continue automatically. Election forms should be turned in to your departmental personnel officer before your annual enrollment deadline.
