This bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to share information about individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements with small businesses. These arrangements let employers reimburse workers for individual health insurance costs. The SBA would share information developed by federal agencies, such as the Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Labor departments, through small business development centers and SBA district offices. The SBA would also include this information in its social media, press releases, and website.
