wanting to start a flexible spending cafeteria plan. Can this plan be self administered within the company?

[Guest gc44]

can a cafeteria plan be administered by someone within our company or does it have to be by an outside company?

[Guest LisaAZ]

You can certainly administer a cafeteria plan inhouse. You should work with your broker, however, to ensure you are in compliance with all of the required laws.

Or discuss with one of the companies that does such administration, to determine costs as well as administrative duties.
