Terminated employee paid premium with personal check

Silver70

We received notice that a FT employee was terminating after they had terminated. This resulted us in only receiving one-half of their premiums for their health, dental and vision payments. Amazingly, they wrote us a check for the half that we paid.

Just trying to think this through,

1. Would i add this to their yearly totals of deductions. It would show on their w-2. (I'm thinking yes)

2. Do i deduct it from their taxable gross? (Drawing a blank on this one)

3. If it's part of their taxable gross, do i owe them some Medicare deduction amount?

4. Anything else i'm not thinking of?

Thank you,

John

Maybe I am missing something, but Why would you not treat this as you do a reimbursement as a COBRA payment?
