What Employers Are Saying

FAQs — Section 125 and SilverOak Advantage

1. What is a Section 125 plan?

A Section 125 plan, also called a cafeteria plan, is an IRS-approved program that allows certain benefits to be offered on a pre-tax basis. This reduces both employer payroll taxes and employee taxable income.

Most businesses save between $600 and $1,800 per employee annually, which can add up to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in payroll tax reductions.

No. Employees’ net pay remains the same while gaining access to additional $0-copay benefits funded entirely by the employer’s tax savings.

Not at all. SilverOak Advantage works alongside your existing plan and broker, with zero disruption to your current coverage.

Employees and their families gain access to virtual care, $0 prescriptions, counseling, preventative screenings, life insurance, and more—all at no out-of-pocket cost.

Yes. Our programs are fully IRS-approved, aligned with ACA and HIPAA requirements, and include audit-ready documentation and nondiscrimination testing.

Most employers launch within 30–45 days, and you don’t need to wait for open enrollment or your renewal period.

Any U.S. business with W-2 employees can qualify. We work with companies of all sizes and industries, from 10 employees to 1,000+.
