DEFINITION of 'Cafeteria Plan'. An employee benefit plan that allows staff to choose from a variety of benefits to formulate a plan that best suits their needs. Cafeteria plan options may include health and accident insurance, cash benefits, tax advantages and/or retirement plan contributions.
Cafeteria plans, or plans governed by IRS Code Section 125, allow employers to help employees pay for. expenses such as health insurance with pre-tax dollars. Employees are given a choice between a taxable. benefit (cash) and two or more specified pre-tax qualified benefits, for example, health insurance. Employees are given the opportunity to select the benefits they want, just like an individual standing in the cafeteria line at lunch. Only certain benefits can be offered through a cafeteria plan: (1) coverage under an accident or health plan (which can include traditional health insurance, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), self-insured medical reimbursement plans, dental, vision, and more); (2) dependent care assistance benefits
