The rules would remove the current
prohibition on integrating HRAs with individual health insurance
coverage, if certain conditions are met including notice
requirements. The rules also set forth conditions under which
certain HRAs would be recognized as limited excepted benefits. DOL
is providing a safe harbor to provide HRA plan sponsors with
assurance that the individual health insurance coverage that is
integrated with an HRA would not become part of an ERISA plan if
the conditions of the safe harbor are met.
US Code:
29 USC 2510 and 2590 Name of Law: Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
EO: EO 13813 Name/Subject of EO: Promoting Healthcare

This is a new collection of
information. The proposed rules would remove the current
prohibition on integrating HRAs with individual health insurance
coverage, if certain conditions, including notice requirements, are
met.
