Understanding the "Family Glitch"
On October 11, 2022, the Treasury Department and IRS issued the final rule for the Affordability of Employer Coverage for Family Members of Employees. This new rule attempts to fix what has been referred to as the “family glitch” for affordable health insurance coverage under the ACA. For employees struggling with the cost of family health insurance coverage, there may be an opportunity for family members to receive premium subsidies for coverage on the Health Insurance Marketplace.
