An Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) allows employers to give their employees a tax-free allowance for individual health insurance premiums. This provides the employer with a cost management alternative to traditional group health insurance while employees get more plan choices. With ICHRAs on the rise, employers and brokers should be aware of the available options and how ICHRAs can modernize their benefit offerings.

During this presentation, Regional Director, Maren Thompson, will cover the following topics:

• ICHRA Rules and Regulations
• Benefits of Offering ICHRAs
• BASIC’s HRA Solution
• Q&A

Due to the length and nature of this webinar, it is not eligible for CE credits.

On December 23, 2024, President Biden signed the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act and the Employer Reporting Improvement Act. While the laws revised the requirement to supply forms to covered individuals, it did not remove the requirement for employers to file with the IRS.

• What’s new or changed for the 2025 calendar year filings
• Common employer mistakes
• IRS 226J Letter - employee goes to the exchange
• ESRP penalty assessment
• We didn't report, so what happens? IRS 5699 Letter
• BASIC's ACA Solution
