MEC is a Modified Endowment Contract. It is a life insurance policy that meets the IRS definition of life insurance but fails a specific premium test (the seven pay test) meant to limit using life insurance as a tax sheltered investment vehicle and was established in a tax change in 1988 (TAMRA).
Hereâs the main attraction: MEC plans can enable organizations to satisfy one part of the large employer mandate and avoid paying a $2,000 assessment per full-time employee for failing to offer full-time employees qualifying health coverage. But the devil is in the details. While MEC plans can eliminate the $2,000 penalty, employers should be aware that these plans do not protect them from the ACAâs $3,000 penalty per each employee who goes to a public exchange and qualifies for a federal subsidy.
