125 plan & significant reduction in hours/change in "shift&qu

[alexa]

Would a significant reduction in hours constitute a legitimate change in status?

What is significant?

Would a shift change constitute a legitimate change in status(even if hours are the same)?

If so, what are legitimate shift changes?

Woudl soemone changing from 9-5 to say 7-3 be a legitimate change in status so the ee could reduce dependent care deduction?

I know that if a child goes to school in the fall thereby decreasing the hours needed for daycare that the DOL has kindly accpted this as a legitimate change so ee can reduce their daycare deduction. Please correct me if I am wrong here

Much thanks!
