"Health FSAs are subject to the Section 105(h) nondiscrimination rules. The components of these rules are many and layered, which creates a degree of complexity best left to the TPA to perform on the employer's behalf....

"Plan sponsors may not realize there is a gap in coverage, especially in situations involving related employers who maintain separate 401(k) plans. One of the most common errors in coverage testing is not counting all of the employees who are required to be included in the tests, which includes employees of related employers even if they are not participating in that entity's plan."
