Cafe 1 (CAFE1)

If the Special Routine ID is Cafe 1 (CAFE1), the Employer Contribution calculation is based on an employee’s medical coverage level, waived, or no medical coverage found. Flat rates are associated to each value using the Amount/Percent fields:

  • Amount/Percent 1 is for Employee only coverage, Amount.

  • Amount/Percent 2 is for Employee + 1 Dependent coverage, Amount.

  • Amount/Percent 3 is for Family coverage, Amount.

  • Amount/Percent 4 is for Waived coverage, Amount.

  • Amount/Percent 5 is for Minimum allowed (if the employee does not meet any of the first four options the employer contribution is the minimum amount).

  • When determining the Taxable Cash Back limit for an employee, the Café 1 Special Routine first looks up to DED_PARM for the employee to determine if there is an amount specified in the Special Routine Value field that should be used. If there is no value or the value is zero, the routine looks up to Cafeteria Cash Benefit Limit on DED_PLAN to determine the Taxable Cash limit. If there is no limit found on DED_PARM or DED_PLAN, the Taxable Cash amount is not  capped.
