[quote=Anonymous]We just did this with our nanny. She got an excellent policy through the Maryland exchange with CareFirst BC/BS (much, much better than the one we had found for her last year). She also qualified for significant discounts at her income level. How we handled our contribution to her health insurance costs has not changed however, regardless of where she obtains the coverage. She is responsible for paying the premiums and maintaining the coverage. We write her a check every month for the amount we contribute. We write on the check that it is for health insurance and she gives us assurance of ongoing coverage. This is per the instructions of our accountant. This kind of benefit (if documented properly) is not taxable to the employer/employee in the same way that wages are so it can be a way to increase compensation without increasing the tax burden on either side.[/quote]
