A Cafeteria Tax Savings Plan is designed to redirect pre-tax dollars under Section 125 of the IRS Code. Missouri Western State College adopted a cafeteria plan in 1990, at no cost to employees. Complete the enrollment forms and return them to the Human Resources, A117. You will receive a statement twice per year regarding the status of your account. If you have questions during the year, contact extension 4588.
Enrollment is conducted when an employee is hired.
Thereafter, there is an annual enrollment in November for the next calendar year. Employees, enrolled in the MWSC Cafeteria Plan, can submit reimbursements for any family member considered a dependent under IRS regulations. Federal Regulations require that funds designated by an employee for medical and dependent care reimbursements must be made at the beginning of each plan year with no changes allowed unless a change in family status occurs. While you may increase the designated amount, you may only decrease if necessary due to the death of a spouse, dependent, or unborn child, or if taking a leave without pay from your job. If an allowable change does occur, then the change MUST be made within 30 days of that change.
