Your employees receive valuable wellness coverage while you save on payroll taxes. It's a win-win—enhanced benefits with little to no impact on employee take-home pay.
The FICA Advantage Program provides employees with valuable wellness benefits without reducing their take-home pay. Here's how it works:
Instead of receiving a portion of wages as taxable income, that same amount is reallocated into pre-tax wellness benefits. Because these benefits are paid before FICA and income taxes are calculated, employees receive the same effective value—but in the form of healthcare benefits rather than taxable wages.
The result? Employees gain access to wellness coverage they didn't have before, while their net paycheck stays virtually the same. There's no payroll deduction, no premium to pay, and no reduction in their overall compensation.
Access to preventive care, telemedicine, and wellness programs that support overall health.
Benefits are provided through wage reallocation, not additional payroll deductions.
Complements your current health insurance—doesn't replace it.
Structured under Section 125 and ACA guidelines for full compliance.
