What You Need to Know About IRS Notices 2020-29 & 2020-33: The Impact to Your Business
Published on May 22nd, 2020
On May 14, the IRS released Notices 2020-29 and 2020-33, which have major implications for cafeteria plans, health benefit accounts, high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) and more. Briefly, the changes include:
- Employer plan amendment opportunities > unprecedented mid-year changes
- Grace period extensions > additional spending timeframes
- COVID-specific changes > HDHPs, testing and treatment, and telehealth services
- ICHRA premium clarity > start dates and reimbursement
These developments, designed to assist with the nation’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak, have account-based plan administrators asking timely, relevant questions:
- What are these changes?
- How, and to what magnitude, will these changes impact enrollment, elections or spending?
- What do these developments mean to consumers, plan sponsors and my business?
- If adopted, how can I operationalize these changes?
