Can I contribute a different amount to employees with families?


Yes! You can choose to contribute a different benefit amount to employees with families. We call this family scaling since the cost of health care coverage increases with each person added. The decision to provide different benefit amounts for employees and employees with families ultimately depends on what you think is most fair and what you can afford. Every business is unique.


With StretchDollar, we simplify family scaling and give you control. You decide the additional pre-tax amount for each dependent and the maximum number of dependents.



We’ve created this nifty guide to help you with the decision-making process: How to Choose a Benefits Budget for Your StretchDollar Policy.
