Pre-tax benefits, also known as Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), allow an employee to pay for certain expenses with money that is deducted from pay before it is taxed. This allows a substantial tax savings by paying your health and dental plan premiums, eligible dependent care, medical, dental, and transportation expenses with pre-tax dollars. 121 Benefits is the administrator for the state’s pre-tax benefits.
