June 11, 2012 Stand Alone HRAs and Minimum Value Since the Affordable Care Act was passed many have thought about how stand-alone HRAs would survive in a post-Affordable Care Act world. Further doubts about stand-alone HRAs have grown since the release of IRS Notice 2012-31, where the IRS set forth three possible ways of calculating a plan’s minimum value. Today, the health and welfare team submitted comments to the IRS that set forth in broad terms how stand-alone HRAs coupled with individual policies could satisfy minimum value and thrive in 2014 and beyond.
