For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, employers should be aware of legal changes affecting the design and administration of their plans. It’s important to communicate any benefit changes to your employees through an updated summary plan description (SPD) or a summary of material modifications (SMM). Also, the open enrollment period is a good time to distribute any required notices, some of which are required annually or during an employee’s initial enrollment.

- The ACA affordability percentage for plan years that begin on or after January 1, 2024, is 8.39%.
