8 Favoring highly compensated employees prohibited o Top 5 highest-paid officers; or o Top 25% highest paid employees Preferential treatment for benefits not allowed: o Better benefits o Employee s share of premiums is lower Example: District pays superintendent s entire TRS- ActiveCare premiums Penalty: $100 per day, per employee discriminated against Example: o 1,000 Es 1 supt = 999 o 999 x $100 = $99,900 per day Effective date: after IRS regulations are issued o Start planning now! o Convert benefit subsidies to compensation 8
9 Large employers Affordable health insurance Penalty for each full-time employee who gets a tax credit for purchasing insurance through the state exchange IRS is considering a safe harbor A large employer is one whose full-time + full- time equivalents (FTEs) = 50 o Full-time employee: 30 hours or more per week o FTE employees: all hours worked in a month by employees who are not full-time, divided by 120 Full-Time Employees Full-Time Equivalents 50 9
10 Example: District A has 56 employees: 42 full-time and 14 part-time Part-time employees work a total of 1,200 hours in a month 1,200 hours/120 = 10 FTEs 42 full-time + 10 FTEs = 52 District A is a large employer Insurance is not affordable if the cost to the employee is more than 9.5% of household income o Premiums for lowest tier of TRS-ActiveCare o Coverage applicable to employee s family situation o Deduct MOE and any other amount paid by district/state (at least $2,700) 10
11 Example 1: Teacher: $40,000/year x 9.5% = $3,800 Tier 1 employee only premium: $3,900 per year Cost to employee: $3,900 - $2,700 (MOE) = $1,200 Insurance is affordable Example 2: Custodian: $15,000/year x 9.5% = $1,435 Tier 1 employee & family premium: $9,804 Cost to employee: $9,804 - $2,700 (MOE) = $7,104 Insurance is not affordable 11
12 Penalty: If district i t is a large employer; and Insurance is not affordable; and Employee purchases insurance through the state exchange; and Employee receives a tax credit Penalty: Excise tax of the lesser of: o $3,000 per employee who receives a credit; or o $2,000 per full-time employees, less 30 12
13 Example: District is a Large Employer with 42 full-time employees Five full-time employees receive premium credits for obtaining insurance through the state exchange Penalty is the lesser of: $3,000 x 5 = $15,000; or $2,000 x (42-30) = $24,000 Increase Premium Subsidy? Estimate $5k per employee: $5,000 x 5 = $25,000 Existing MOE obligation: $1,800 (MOE) x 5 = $9,000 Total annual cost: $34,000 Pay Penalty? Affordability penalty: $15,000 Savings to district (MOE): - $9,000 Total annual cost: $6,000 13
14 Proposed safe harbor: IRS Notice o Affordability based on employee s wages from that employer (W-2, Box 1) Year-end determination Employee-by-employee o Guidance will also address partial-year employment Effective date: o January 1, 2014 Wages required to meet 9.5% test ( TRS rates, Tier 1 coverage) For Employee Only : $1,053/mo. Employee & Spouse: $5,432/mo. Employee & Children: $3,095/ mo. Employee & Family: $6,232/mo. 14
15 2012: Uniform summary of benefits (TRS) 2013: Notice to new employees about state exchange (District) 2014: HHS report about health insurance plans (District) IRS certification regarding offer of coverage (District) TBD (2014?): Automatic enrollment (with opt out) if 200 or more employees (District) Prescription required for over-the-counter medications Effective 2013: employee contribution is limited to $2,500 annually Start planning now 15
16 Effective % excise tax on value of employer-provided d coverage exceeding thresholds o $10,200 for employee-only coverage o $27,500 for other coverage (employee & spouse, e.g., employee & family) Example 1: TRS-ActiveCare Ati Tier 3 premium: $584/mo. x 12 = $7,008 $10,200 - $7,008 = $3,102 Premium would have to increase 45.5% by 2018 to be subject to Cadillac tax 16
17 Example 2: TRS-ActiveCare Ati Tier 3 premium: $1,461/mo. X 12 = $17,532 $27,500 - $17,532 = $9,968 Premium would have to increase 57% by 2018 to be subject to Cadillac tax Now: Nondiscrimination (regulations are coming) Flexible spending accounts (2013) Later: Administrative responsibilities (2014) Affordability (2014) Cadillac tax (2018) 17
