What is an ICHRA?

ICHRA (pronounced "ick-rah") stands for Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement. It's a way for your employer to give you tax-free money to buy your own health insurance.

How much money will I get?

The amount depends on what your employer decides to give. Ask your HR department or manager about how much you'll receive each month.


What if the plan costs more than my allowance?

If your health plan costs more than what your employer gives you, you'll need to pay the difference yourself from your paycheck.

Can I use this money for anything else?

No, the money from your ICHRA can only be used to pay for health insurance premiums and sometimes other medical expenses.
