What is affordability for ACA?

A plan is considered affordable under the ACA if the employee’s contribution level for self-only coverage does not exceed 9.5% (indexed for inflation) of the employee’s household income. An ALE’s failure to offer coverage that meets the ACA affordability standard for any given FTE creates a potential penalty liability. Sep 7, 2021
