Full Flex Cafeteria Plan. Effective January 1, 2010, the City implemented a full flex cafeteria plan for active employees, in accordance with IRS Code Section 125. Active employees participating in the City’s full flex cafeteria plan shall receive a monthly flex dollar allowance to purchase benefits under the full flex cafeteria plan. The ongoing monthly flex dollar allowance shall be: For employee only: $ 813.18 For employee and one dependent: $1,473.00 For employee and two or more dependents: $1,915.00 The City shall contribute to the cost of medical coverage for each eligible employee and his/her dependents, an amount not to exceed the California Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) Minimum contribution, as determined by CalPERS on an annual basis.

The monthly flex dollar allowance (including the PEMHCA minimum contribution) may be used in accordance with the terms of the cafeteria plan to purchase health benefits or may be converted to taxable income. For example, in calendar year 2016, a single employee’s monthly flex dollar allowance for health was $813.18, which includes the $125.00 designated by CalPERS as the City’s monthly PEMHCA contribution. The flex dollar allowance must be used to purchase health coverage and any remaining balance would be converted to taxable income.
