Long-Term Care Insurance
John Hancock
At the request of several Gateway Regional
Chamber of Commerce Members, the Gateway Chamber
Board of Directors has developed a program for
Members who recognize the serious financial cost
of Long-Term Care in the state of New Jersey.
Long-Term Care is increasingly affecting many of
us in our everyday lives. Relatives, parents,
or grandparents are requiring some form of
long-term care as they get older. Having
Long-Term Care Insurance allows the aging or ill
person to take advantage of Long Term Care
facilities and/or Home Health Aides without
losing their savings in the process.
Acorn Financial Services has partnered with the
Chamber and John Hancock to offer Members
between 5-40% off of premiums for Long-Term Care
Insurance.
At many large companies like financial
institutions and law firms, senior
executives are adding Long Term Care
Insurance to their benefit plans and
allowing other employees to voluntarily add
it to theirs as well. The result of this is
an increased security in the knowledge of
one’s future physical and financial
comfort. Also, by contracting as a group,
the firm benefits through reduced rates.
Contact
Jay Boyle or
Bill Oakes of Acorn Financial via email
or telephone at
(908) 232-8977 for more information.

Tax Savings Programs
Total Administrative Services Corporation(TASC)
Total
Administrative Services Corporation (TASC)
is a nationally recognized third party
administrator offering programs and
administration services for Section 105
and Section 125 plans which enable
Chamber Members to receive thousands of
dollars in tax savings and premium
savings. Section 105 and Section 125,
when properly integrated with existing
benefits, produce huge savings – as much
as 20-25% or more on health insurance
premiums and potentially thousands of
dollars in taxes. Also, there is
absolutely no liability to you as
the administrative services are backed
by a full audit guarantee.
AgriPlan/BizPlan - Section 105 Plan (For
Business Owners and their Spouses)
AgriPlan/BizPlan is a Medical
Reimbursement Plan based on an
often-overlooked tax code, IRS Section
105, which allows small businesses to
deduct 100% of their out-of-pocket
medical, dental and vision expenses as
well as their health and long term care
insurance premiums on their Schedule C.
If an employer does not have the Section
105 plan, they can only deduct their
health insurance premiums on their 1040
Return. Plus, they get no deduction for
their out-of-pocket medical, dental and
vision expenses unless they exceed 7.5%
of their Adjusted Gross Income.
AgriPlan/BizPlan saves on average over
$2400 in taxes for every client!

works and may be appropriate for your
business, please watch this short

FlexSystem – Section 125 Cafeteria Plan
Sometimes known as a Flexible Spending
Account, FlexSystem allows employees to
pay for certain expenses on a pre-tax
basis. By paying for these expenses
before being taxed, employees lower
their taxable income, pay less in taxes
and increase their take-home pay.
FlexSystem offers employees and
employers a win-win situation when it
comes to saving money. Employers are
able to realize a number of benefits
including:
-
Reduced payroll taxes/cost – Social
Security contributions are reduced
for each dollar of employee
participation.
-
Recruit and Retain Quality Employees
– an employer is viewed in a
positive light by current and
prospective employees because a
pre-tax benefit package is being
provided with the employee’s
individual interests in mind.

works and if it may be appropriate for
your business, please watch this short
