This question is not related to my previous post from earlier today...

FACTS:

Employer offers group medical plan coverage. Employer also has a 125 plan that allow employees to pay for medical via pre-tax salary reduction. One of the employees has a son that is no longer a full-time student, but is a dependent. COBRA is offered to the child, due to loss of coverage.

QUESTION:

Can the employee pay the COBRA premium with pre-tax dollars (thorugh the 125 plan)?
Are there code sections you can refer me to?

Thanks again.

If the child is a dependent under tax code, then the COBRA payments can be pre-taxed.
