How to Coordinate ICHRA Enrollment

Learn what employers need to prepare and monitor before and during employee ICHRA enrollment.

Sep 7, 2026

Prepare the employer side of enrollment by confirming:

  • Employee eligibility

  • Allowance amounts

  • Employee contact information

  • Residential locations

  • Available enrollment paths

  • Effective dates

  • Enrollment deadlines

Employees make their own plan selections and complete the actions required by their enrollment path.

The employer's role is to communicate the process, monitor incomplete enrollment, and direct employees to the appropriate assistance.

Sending an enrollment invitation does not establish active coverage. An employee who reviews plans or starts an application may still have outstanding steps.
