Not sure offhand if a non profit religious organization can
have a medical reimbursement plan.

You would have to research that.

w2 employee. My understanding is that this is not a
cafeteria plan, but an agreement that was made when employee
was hired to pay up to $1,000 in medical expenses.

I think this would be taxable income to a "for profit"
business employee, but didn't know if there were different
rules for clergy.

Thanks
Bill

Is this an employee who gets a w2? & does it have a plan in
place that covers its employees for such expenditures?

Can a church pay the direct medical expenses of a clergy
member without tax consequence? (Mainline religion with
501c3 status)

Thanks
