Employee changes may affect ICHRA eligibility, employee class, monthly allowance, affordability, or benefit dates.
New hires
Before adding an eligible employee to the ICHRA administration process, confirm:
Employment start date
Eligibility date
Employee class
Work location
Monthly allowance
Applicable waiting period
An employee's hire date and ICHRA effective date may be different.
Other employee changes
Review the ICHRA when an employee changes employment status, work location, leave status, or employee class.
Terminations
When employment ends, confirm:
Last day of employment
Applicable ICHRA termination date
Whether a final monthly amount remains available
Whether continuation coverage requirements may apply
Whether a payroll deduction must be stopped
Removing an employee from payroll does not automatically end their ICHRA participation or individual insurance policy.
For changes during a month, see Handle Mid-Month Changes.
