The deadline for groups with <br />under $5 million in proceeds (for flexible spending accounts thi~ means less than $5 million in <br />participant contributions) is April 14, 2004. <br /> <br />2) <br /> <br />Eliminates Cass County Government / Personnel's adoption of :he DBI Master Cafeteria Plan Trust. <br />This will eliminate the annual independent audit for 2004 and beyond for those that had been required <br />to have one (large employers with over 100 spending account participants). You will continue to <br />send contributions to Discovery Benefits as you have in the pas'. However, there is specific language <br />in the ASA that provides the funds deposited with Discovery Benefits remain part of the employer's <br />general assets. <br /> <br />3) Updates the contract to be between Discovery Benefits, Inc. ani Cass County Government / <br /> Personnel. <br /> <br />We ask that you complete both copies of the attached Agreement and retum one copy to us at the address <br />below no later than December 31, 2003.
