Ed MacConnell

The IRS reversed its March 5 decision to decrease the 2018 contribution limit for family coverage only. The new contribution limit is back to $6,900 (previously adjusted to $6,850).

To review the official IRS announcement, visit the Internal Revenue Service press release (published April 26, 2018).

This means individuals who have already contributed $6,900 are fine and do not need to return any money. And those individuals who have automatic contributions that would have exceeded the earlier $6,850 limit in 2018 are fine. No changes need to be made as long as they do not exceed the $6,900 family contribution maximum.

If you have questions, please contact your Total Benefit Solutions, Inc. account manager at (215)355-2121.

We have used and have referred many of our clients to Ed MacConnell and his team at Total Benefit Solutions. In the complicated health insurance market of today’s world Ed makes selecting and managing health insurance as simple as possible. Time and time again, Total Benefit Solutions has been able to find cost effective quality health insurance for us and our clients. I highly recommend Total Benefit Solutions for all your health insurance needs.
