The Flexible Benefits Program for BCPS is a cafeteria plan as defined by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. A cafeteria plan allows you to pay for certain employee benefits with pre-tax deductions from your paycheck. You pay for most benefits on a pre-tax basis, which lowers the taxes taken out of each paycheck.
