I have a client that currently has group coverage. He will not be losing it but we're looking at putting him into an individual HSA plan. He's paying $640 (his portion) and the employer is paying $260 on top of that for a total $900.
My question is this: Is there a creative way to still have the employer pay that $260 still? Couldn't he just give him a raise for that amount? I mean, sure it would be taxed but....
I'm curious if this is a common thing when people are coming from group to individual and how to approach this with my customer if so. If there is anything else that I should know please let me know.
BTW- We will not be breaking up the group by taking him off so that's not an issue.
