- Spousal incentives are limited to 30% of the total cost of self-only coverage, as it is for employees with self-only coverage. The cost of family medical coverage does not factor in to the incentive limit under the EEOC rules.
- Incentives for spouses, while permissible for health assessments, biometric screenings and questions about current health status, are not allowed if tied to questions about family history or genetic tests.
- Incentives for children, including adult children, tied to health assessments, biometric screenings, family history or genetic tests are prohibited under the rules.
