NC Flex

The State of North Carolina contracts with vendors to provide an array of voluntary pre-tax plans. NC Flex allows you to save on your payroll deductions for expenses associated with health and dental care not covered by insurance plans. Since contributions are made on a pre-tax basis, you’ll save 30-40% or more on most NC Flex benefits. Plans included in the NC Flex Program are:

Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts
Vision Dental
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance
Supplemental Medical Plan
Cancer Plan
Pre-Tax Term Life

You are eligible to participate in the NC Flex Program if you are a University employee working 20 or more hours per week in a permanent, probationary, or time-limited position (graduate students working as teaching assistants or research assistants are not eligible). Participation for new employees begins the first of the month after you sign your enrollment form as longs as it is within 30 days from your date of hire.

Once enrolled in the NC Flex Program, federal laws regarding pre-tax benefits prohibit changing or stopping participation during the year unless you have a qualifying family status change.
