COBRA Administration

Let Omnify take the guesswork out of COBRA coverage

Thanks to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985, most companies are required to offer temporary continuation of health coverage to covered employees and their dependents following a termination or reduction in hours. If managing your COBRA benefits has you feeling overwhelmed, we have you covered. Click through to learn more about our COBRA services and how we can help you stay in compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are an employer’s contributions to an HSA treated as a deductible health care expenses?

The tax treatment of employer HSA contributions depends on how the business is incorporated. For sole proprietors, partnerships, and S-corporations, contributions to a partner’s HSA will be treated as a distribution to the partner and included in the partner’s income and may be deductible by the partner but not by the business (see IRS Notice 2005-8 for treatment of HSA contributions in exchange for guaranteed payments of services rendered for partners and two percent shareholder employees of S-corporations). For larger corporations, employer contributions are treated as employer-provided coverage for medical expenses under an accident or health plan.

May an employer fully fund the employee’s HSA at the beginning of the year?

Yes. An employer may fully fund the employee’s HSA at the beginning of the year, however HSAs belong to the individual and not the employer and the employer has no further control over the accounts after they have been funded. As a result, many employers elect to fund employee’s HSAs periodically throughout the year.

Does an employer have to make contributions to an employee’s HSA?

No. Employers are under no obligation to make any contributions to their employees’ HSAs. Many employers find that contributing to employees’ HSA accounts may help improve adoption of HDHPs and HSAs, especially if they are transitioning from a more traditional type of health coverage.

Do employees get a tax benefit from an HSA?

Employee contributions to an HSA can be made by payroll deductions or personal deposits. When an employee makes contributions through a payroll deduction and is ran through a Section 125 plan (also called a salary reduction or cafeteria plan) these dollar are pre-tax, including social security tax. If employees make personal deposits into their HSA it is on a post tax basis. The amount can be deducted from their taxable income but they will not recover the social security tax.

Is this really less expensive for the business?

Yes. High-deductible health plan premiums are much lower than the typical HMO and PPO premiums. Many businesses are finding these health plans affordable for their companies and their employees.

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged benefit account that allows you to save and pay for qualified medical expenses.

Unused HSA dollars roll over from year to year, making HSAs a convenient and easy way to save and invest for future medical expenses. Employee’s own their HSA at all times and can take it with them when they change medical plans, change jobs or retire.
