Employee Benefits for Small Business in Georgia

Offering employee benefits in Georgia helps small businesses compete for talent — and the options available to Georgia employers have expanded significantly in recent years.

What Georgia Small Businesses Can Offer

• Group health insurance: Traditional fully-insured or level-funded medical coverage for 2 to 50 employees
• Dental and vision: Standalone plans or bundled with medical coverage — UnitedHealthcare's packaged savings program offers discounts when bundling specialty benefits with medical
• Life and AD&D insurance: Basic group life is typically available alongside medical coverage
• ICHRA or QSEHRA: Health reimbursement arrangements allow Georgia employers to reimburse employees for individual marketplace plans tax-free — particularly useful for very small businesses or those with part-time staff

The Small Business Health Care Tax Credit in Georgia

Georgia small businesses with fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees and average wages below $56,000 who contribute at least 50% of employee premiums may qualify for a federal tax credit worth up to 50% of those contributions.

Level-Funded Plans — A Georgia Advantage

Georgia's competitive small group market makes level-funded plans particularly attractive. Healthy Georgia small businesses that have been paying traditional fully-insured rates for years often find meaningful savings by switching to a level-funded structure.
