HSAs: New Rules for Employer Contributions-A Practical Guide to Comparability and the Cafeteria Plan Exception Training Seminar
In order to avoid a 35 percent excise tax, employers that contribute to employees' HSAs must make comparable contributions for all employees with HSAs or must make the contributions "through a cafeteria plan." The IRS has issued final rules on employer contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs), which will apply to contributions made on or after January 1, 2007. The new rules make some significant changes to the rules that were proposed last summer.
Join our experts for this 90-minute web seminar that will explain the new rules and provide practical advice on plan designs that will comply with the new rules.
Here's some of what we'll cover:- What are comparable contributions? What flexibility is added by the regulation's new high deductible health plan (HDHP) tiers of coverage? Can collectively bargained employees be treated differently than other employees?
- When are employer contributions considered to be made "through a cafeteria plan"? What nondiscrimination rules apply to those contributions?
- Can an employer comply with the new rules by matching an employee's HSA contribution?
- Can an employer make HSA contributions only to those employees who have coverage under the employer's HDHP?
- What must an employer do to locate missing comparable participating former employees? How and when can an employer correct a comparability failure?
