A deduction is made "pre-tax" if it avoids at least one form of taxation. Although contributions to "traditional" versions of 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans, as well as 457 plans, are "pre-tax" deductions for purposes of Federal income tax, they ARE subject to FICA withholding.

In contrast, Section 125 ("Cafeteria Plan") healthcare premiums are deducted before FICA liability is calculated.
