CMS has renamed ICHRAs as CHOICE Arrangements. The regulations themselves have not changed.

As of September 10, 2026, CMS updated its Employer Initiatives page and is promoting CHOICE Arrangements to employers.

If you have questions about how this applies to your organization, please contact your Benefit Consultant today!

It's time for our favorite season!! NO, not Fall! Hall-O-Wish!

The backstory: While trick-or-treating with her son one Halloween night, Liz (Intrepid Atlanta's President) noticed kids were splitting a single costume among siblings. One with a mask, another with a cape, the last with the wand.

We decided to do something about it. Over a decade later, we are still just as passionate about these communities, schools, families, and children.

Thanks to our network of family, friends, colleagues, and partners, Intrepid has delivered over 1,000 costumes to kids at tuition-free schools in Atlanta and Athens, Georgia.

Help make 171 Hall-O-Wishes come true this year! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3U5XK8PXIZ4OK?ref_=wl_share

We get asked all the time how the Intrepid Atlanta team works together so seamlessly.

Once a year we leave the office on purpose. The trips are fun. We eat, we laugh, we unplug. But, that’s not the point.

Getting away from the usual rush is how we actually talk, how we learn to trust each other, and how better ideas show up.

That relationship work comes back with us. When we’re operating , your employees feel it: clearer answers, faster follow-through, and advice that fits the way your company actually runs.

We take care of our own team first because that’s what lets us take care of yours. 💪

We are so proud of our "graduates" who completed their Fiduciary Liability Certification this week.

Matthew Cannova, attorney at Maynard Nexsen, explained the fiduciary liabilities that employers now face and the best way to manage those responsibilities. Attendees earned a "diploma" along with SHRM credit hours.

The best classes always end with "recess"! What a fun and educational afternoon learning from the best!

We’ve been watching this trend, and it felt too good not to make it useful. So here’s a little reminder that the smartest moves aren’t always the flashiest ones! Your benefits only work if you use them.
