Reliant offers a Cafeteria Plan Benefit for our missionaries. What is a Cafeteria Plan? These are benefits that are paid from your paycheck but are not taxed. It is similar to how you select the food items you want to eat when you go to a cafeteria. Reliant’s Cafeteria Plan allows employees to “select” certain benefits they would like to utilize.

When you submit your annual Cafeteria Enrollment Form each year, you are authorizing Reliant to make the deduction(s) from their monthly paycheck. Each authorization for Cafeteria benefits is designed to last for the rest of the calendar year in which the Cafeteria Enrollment Form is submitted. Therefore these benefits must be renewed each year during Open Enrollment.  Failure to re-enroll during Open Enrollment means you will lose the opportunity to utilize the benefit for that year.  

Again, these benefits are tax free (meaning that neither FICA taxes, nor FITA taxes are withheld)!  Cafeteria Plan offering will contain the following three benefits: 

Health Savings Account (HSA) - Employee Contribution 

Along with your enrollment in either the HS 1500, 3000 or 5000 (HSA), you wish to make a monthly Employee Contribution to your personal HSA bank account, (In addition to the Reliant Employer Contribution). If so, then you will need to also enroll in the Cafeteria Plan to sign up for your Employee Contributions. Reliant strongly urges  you to consider making monthly tax-free Employee Contributions to fund your HSA bank account. See also Health Saver (HS) Plans.

Please understand that Employe Remember that Employer Contributions are made to the Health Savings Account  by Reliant in addition to contributions you can make from your paycheck. 

Vision Plan Benefit

Vision premiums are paid for by you, the employee, out of your monthly paycheck. See also Vision Insurance.

 

Child-Care Benefit

For  a description of the Child-Care Benefit, see Child-Care Benefit. If you desire to elect the Child-Care Benefit, you will need to also enroll in the cafeteria plan to sign up for your Child-Care Benefit Employee Contribution.
