Does an employer have to contribute 50 percent of the employees premium?
Yes, however, the contribution requirement of at least a uniform 50 percent of the employees’ cost is based on the premium for single coverage only. When an employee has family coverage, the requirement is met if the employer pays at least 50 percent of what single coverage would have cost for the employee.
