COMPLIANCE

It's easy to overlook compliance, although compliance is easy to do. Non-compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and ERISA can result in huge costs to your business. 

​

​

​

Affordable Care Act Compliance: Although the individual mandate is going away on January 1, 2019, both employer mandates still exist. This means that if you are an Applicable Large Employer (ALE) you must continue to offer Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) in both 2018 and 2019. In addition, you must offer that coverage to 95% of your ACA benefit eligible employees (working 30 or more hours per week). Should you elect to offer a Minimum Value Plan remember that you must also meet one of the affordability safe harbors. Contact us if you have questions.

​

1094/1095 Reporting: This reporting is still required. 

​

​

​

ERISA Compliance: This is regulatory requirement for all employers regardless of group size. The only exempt entities are churches and the federal government. Over 80% of the groups that we discuss ERISA compliance with are currently out of compliance. Depending on how your group plans are structured, there could be as many as 24 compliance points to meet, all of which have penalties for non-compliance. You will find the penalties for non-compliance in the Compliance Quiz below.
