Dependent Care Assistance Plan (7 Pages)

This Form creates a Dependent Care Assistance Plan as permitted by Section 129 of the Internal Revenue Code. The employer (the Company) creates the Plan for the benefit of its eligible employees, and provides a reimbursement for certain dependent care expenses as described in the Plan. Under current law, the amount which may be excluded from an employee’s income during a taxable year may not exceed $5,000 (or $2,500 in the case of a separate return filed by a married individual). This Plan makes all employees who satisfy minimal age and service criteria eligible for participation in the Plan. By law, the Plan may not discriminate in favor of highly compensated employees or their dependents.
