ICHRA Permanency Act
The ICHRA Permanency Act makes permanent a 2019 federal rule that allows employers to offer health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) to cover individual health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket medical costs. This directly affects small employers and their employees, enabling businesses to provide tax-advantaged health coverage without requiring group plans. The bill codifies the existing rule into law, ensuring it has the full force of law and cannot be altered by future administrations. This creates a stable framework for employers using HRAs to help workers afford health coverage.
