Best Answer

The pretaxing of disability premiums is a decision made by employers when setting up Section 125 benefit plans. There are three possible configurations: pretax only, after tax only, or employee chooses.

When the premium is paid pre-tax the benefit becomes taxable when an employee is disabled. The employer and employee would both have a FICA or payroll tax obligation for the benefit paid. The insurance company may issue a 1099 statement for the benefits.

There is no Ohio law changing the IRS guidelines on this topic that I am aware of.

What is a waiver of premium for life insurance plolicies?

Waiver of premium on a life insurance policy or disability insurance policy means that in case of a disability, the insurance company will waive the premiums and keep the policy in force. This is a layer of added protection in case you can't afford to pay the policy due to loss of income in case of an illness or accident. All disability insurance policies include the waiver of premium at no cost, keeping the policy in force while you are disabled and receiving disability benefits. Life insurance policies have the waiver of premium as a rider which usually cost additional premium to add.

It depends on how whether your employer gave you the option. If you are buying your policy for maternity purposes you are better served paying after tax.
