History of Benefits Design Group, Inc.

Benefits Design Group, Inc. is a third party administrator of Section 125 Flexible Benefit programs. Our corporate headquarters and administrative center is located in Onalaska, WI and we have marketing support in Minneapolis, MN, Wausau, WI and Onalaska. We began designing employee benefit programs in June of 1987 and we currently assist over 1,000 employers nationwide ranging in size from as small as 2 to over 6,000. Unlike most administrators, our primary focus is the marketing, implementation, and administration of tax advantaged plans like Flexible Benefit Plans and Health Reimbursement Arrangements. Benefits Design Group, Inc. handles the entire administration of your employee benefit administration. We offer a full range of services including protection against loss under the At-Risk Rules for Flexible Spending Accounts, optional funding methods, variable payment frequencies, and Internet access to account information.

We employ experts in the employee benefit industry. General Manager Sue Sieger, CFCI and Operations Manager Kim Ness, CFCI hold the the designation "Certified in Flexible Compensation Instruction." Employee Benefits Consultant Shawn Bresnahan, CFC and Account Representative Brenda Manke, CFC hold the "Certified in Flexible Compensation" designation. They join the few practitioners that the Employer's Council on Flexible Compensation (ECFC) has awarded such designations. To achieve this status, they originally underwent a rigorous examination covering plan design and administration, the law, regulations and ethical standards in 1999. Since then, Sue and Kim have completed the additional required continuing education credits to upgrade their designation to the instructor level.
