Can an employeer offer reimbursement for medical coverage and not offer to others with no coverage?

If I understand the question correctly the answer is yes. An employer can have a Health Reimbursement Arrangement as the mechanism to pay for employees health care. In those plan documents the employer can specify what they will reimburse for (ie insurance premiums, Rx, dnetal etc). If the plan is established such that they only pay for insurance premiums then they are generally under no obligation to pay for out-of-pocket expenses for an employee that has no insurance. That said, they can not discriminate within the terms of the plan. If the plan says they will reimburse for XXX then they must do that for all employees.


How do you tax employee on the cost of employer paid long term disability premiums?

Typically, if an employer pays for long-term disability (LTD) premiums, the cost is not considered taxable income to the employee at the time of payment. However, if the employer pays the premiums, any disability benefits received by the employee in the future will generally be taxable. Conversely, if the employee pays for the LTD premiums with after-tax dollars, the benefits received would typically be tax-free. It's important for employers and employees to consult tax professionals for specific guidance based on individual situations.
