The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees provide health insurance to their employees. This is known as the 'employer mandate'.
ICHRAs can meet the mandate as long as they are considered 'affordable.' According to IRS, 'an ICHRA is affordable if the remaining amount an employee has to pay for a self-only silver plan on the exchange is less than 9.83% of the employee’s household income.'
To simplify, this means that the ICHRA contribution an employee receives cannot be less than the lowest-cost silver plan available to the employee - (9.83% of the employee's household income).
