ACA Information
Portions of the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA) remain in force and continue to impact employers in 2018. Even though Individual Mandate within the ACA was repealed in January of 2018, ACA requires Applicable Large Employers (ALE), generally those with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees, to report specific information on health coverage to the IRS and their full-time employees.
The Employer Mandate under Section 6056 requires ALE to offer full-time employees compliant health care coverage. In addition, the ALE must provide each full-time employee with a 1095-C outlining the offer of coverage, the low cost premium paid by the employee for employee-only coverage, and each month the employee was enrolled in coverage or declined the offer of coverage. Copies of each 1095-C along with the 1094-C transmittal will be submitted to the IRS.
Section 6055 of the Employer Mandate with ACA requires self-insuring employers to report who received coverage to the employee and IRS. If you are a self-insured employer, you must complete Section C of the 1095-C with each dependent enrolled in coverage.
Benefit Administration
Choose to create a new experience for you, your employees, and your company’s benefit providers. With a single sign on (SSO), you and your employees will have access to your company’s benefit suite. Through a SSO to a secure portal, new hires can sign up for benefits, employees can complete open enrollment, and employment terminations can be applied. Deductions flow to the employees’ payroll records for accurate reporting. The census data flows to the benefit providers including COBRA through Kemper 1st Choice Payroll daily electronic submissions.
