Alert – Affordable Care Act – Certain Employer Responsibilities Delayed to 2015
On Tuesday, July 3, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced that the mandate requiring certain employers to provide health coverage to their employees or pay fines has been delayed until 2015. The Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010, mandated various responsibilities of employers. One of the most widely publicized features of this health care legislation requires employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees to provide minimum essential health care coverage to their full-time employees or pay a penalty. It also requires information reporting by employers to employees regarding health coverage options. According to Treasury Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy Mark Mazur, full implementation is delayed from January 1, 2014, until January 1, 2015. Treasury plans to issue formal guidance regarding this transition the week of July 8 and publish proposed rules implementing these provisions later this summer. The department intends to gather input from stakeholders, including employers that currently provide coverage exceeding the minimum requirements described in the ACA, to reduce the reporting requirement burden. As stated in the Treasury announcement, the reason for the delay is two-pronged. First, due to the complexities involved with compliance, the government intends to give further consideration to finding ways to simplify the reporting requirements in a manner that is “consistent with the law.” Second, the delay will provide additional time to modify health care coverage and reporting systems, while strongly encouraging employers, on a voluntary basis, to continue the process of providing affordable and accessible health coverage to their full-time employees and completing the current reporting requirements. The bottom line is that employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees will not be required to provide health coverage for their full-time employees or pay a penalty, nor will they be required to fulfill the information reporting requirements until 2015. That notwithstanding, the administration is encouraging employers to move forward with compliance as much as possible to provide a smooth transition during the fully required implementation in 2015. Treasury also stated that this delay will not affect individual employees’ access to premium tax credits or any other provision available under the ACA. There are still many unanswered questions and options for employers to consider; contact your BKD advisor for further information.
