Did You Know?

Employers should never pay for individual health insurance premiums?

Federal regulations prohibit businesses from paying directly for employee’s individual health insurance premiums, unless an HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) or other IRS/HIPAA/ERISA-qualified tax- free plan, such as a Cafeteria Plan, is used. Employers who want to pay for individual health insurance premiums may put the business out of compliance with federal regulations and increase the employer’s and employee’s tax liability, in addition to other issues that are created. An HRA will ensure compliance with federal law if employers wish to pay or contribute toward individual health insurance plans as well as keep the benefit nontaxable to the employee.
