Article Abstract:

The IRS has issued guidance on how to reconcile the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 with payments to cafeteria benefit plans. An employee taking leave under the FMLA may opt to end coverage under a cafeteria plan or continue it with or without paying premiums. An employee who returns to work after revoking coverage or not paying premiums must be allowed to resume coverage under the plan.
