These updates will be effective for the taxable years and plan years beginning January 1, 2019.
As a result, some employers may have additional flexibility with the rasped tot their employee contributions for 2019 to meet the adjusted percentage.
AFFORDABLE COVERAGE TEST For plan years beginning in 2019, employer-sponsored coverage will be considered affordable if the employee’s required contribution for self-only coverage does not exceed:
- 9.86% of the employee’s household income for the year, for purposes of both the pay or play rules and the premium tax credit eligibility.
- 8.3% of the employees household income fo rate year, for purposes of an individual mandate exception (adjusted under separate guidance).
