What is Cafe 125 all about, and why are they taking money I already paid?

The same amount that I paid out for medical insurance pre-tax as well as dental and flexible spending is the amount as this ‘cafe 125′. Can they take money from me that I already paid? That doesn’t seem fair.

is participation in cafe 125 mandatory, or can I opt out of this?

I never come close to maxing out my medical benefits, so I never use this money. Can I opt out and just pay directly out of pocket if something pops up?

There is a line on my W2/earnings summary labeled cafe 125. Do I report this amount on my taxes?

Miss T asked:


I assuming this line is just for information purpose to let me know how much I contributed to this plan. I understand that it is not deduct-able but do I have to report this on my taxes?
Thank you! I didn’t think I had to report it but asked to make sure.
