[Update] Congress Delivers HSA Telehealth Extension and ACA Reporting Relief
In the final hours leading up to President Biden signing the American Relief Act of 2025 into law, the Telehealth extension was not included in the final package.
Published: 01.06.2025
Update 1.6.2025
The Telehealth extension was not included in the American Relief Act of 2025 that President Biden recently signed into law. This means the temporarily extended Telehealth safe harbor from the CARES Act expired on December 31, 2024. Plans offering HDHPs with HSAs must ensure telehealth services do not meet any exceptions, which may disqualify individuals from contributing to an HSA for that plan year.
On December 23, 2024, President Biden signed into law the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act and the Employer Reporting Improvement Act.
