OVERVIEW

On Aug. 23, 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-29 to index the contribution percentages in 2024 for determining the affordability of an employer’s plan under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

For plan years beginning in 2024, employer-sponsored coverage will be considered affordable if the employee’s required contribution for self-only coverage does not exceed 8.39% of the employee’s household income for the year for purposes of the ACA’s pay or play rules. This is a significant decrease (down from 9.12% in 2023) and the lowest that this percentage has ever been set. As a result, some employers may have to lower their employee contribution for 2024 to meet the adjusted percentage.
