Text of IRS Notice 2017-20: Extension of Period for Furnishing Written QSEHRA Notice to Eligible Employees (PDF)
Internal Revenue Service [IRS] Link to more items from this source
[Official Guidance]
Feb. 27, 2017
"A [qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement (QSEHRA)] is an arrangement described in section 9831(d), which was added to the Code by the 21st Century Cures Act ... Under that section, an eligible employer (generally an employer with fewer than 50 full-time employees, including full-time equivalent employees, that does not offer a group health plan to any of its employees) may provide a QSEHRA to its eligible employees. Under a QSEHRA, after an eligible employee provides proof of coverage, payments or reimbursements may be made to that eligible employee for expenses for medical care (as defined in section 213(d) and including expenses for premiums for individual health insurance policies) incurred by the eligible employee or the eligible employee's family members, provided certain requirements are satisfied.... Section 9831(d)(4) generally requires an eligible employer to furnish a written notice to its eligible employees ... Section 6652(o), which was also added to the Code by the Cures Act, imposes a penalty for failing to timely furnish eligible employees with the required written QSEHRA notice.... [An] eligible employer that provides a QSEHRA to its eligible employees for a year beginning in 2017 is not required to furnish the initial written notice to those employees until after further guidance has been issued by Treasury and the IRS. That further guidance will specify a deadline for providing the initial written notice that is no earlier than 90 days following the issuance of that guidance. No section 6652(o) penalties will be imposed for failure to provide the initial written notice before the extended deadline specified in that guidance. Employers that furnish the QSEHRA notice to their eligible employees before further guidance is issued may rely upon a reasonable good faith interpretation of the statute to determine the contents of the notice."
