11 Health Care Reform: 2014 Impacts Shared Responsibility Requirements a.k.a Employer Mandate or Pay or Play Excise tax added by the Affordable Care Act for employers failing to meet certain conditions regarding employer-sponsored health coverage offered to their employees Beginning January 1, 2014, employers with 50+ full-time or FTE employees must: Offer health coverage to all full-time employees and their dependents A. Full-time employee defined as an employee who is employed, on average, at least 30 hours of service per week (or 130 hours per month) Offer minimum essential coverage that is both affordable and provides minimum value: A. Minimum Essential Coverage as determined by state benchmark plan B. Affordable employee portion of premiums for self-only coverage not to exceed 9.5% of the employee s household income (employers may base affordability on the employee s W-2 wages as a safe harbor) C. Minimum Value plan must cover at least 60 percent of total allowed costs
12 Health Care Reform: 2014 Impacts Shared Responsibility: Affordability Requirements Federal Poverty Level (FPL) Employer-Sponsored Plan: Employee Premium Contribution as a Percent of Income 0.0% - 9.5% 9.5% + 401% Not Eligible for Premium Subsidy 139% - 400% 0 138% Not Eligible for Premium Subsidy Eligible for Premium Subsidy Medicaid Eligible No Employer Penalties for Medicaid-Enrolled Employees Note: Missouri general income eligibility requirements for Medicaid start at 185% expanded definitions exist for children ages 0-19
13 Health Care Reform: 2014 Impacts Shared Responsibility: Penalties for Non-Compliance The following penalties are triggered when one of an employer s full-time employees receives a premium tax credit or cost-sharing reduction through an Exchange: A. If employer fails to offer minimum essential coverage to at least 95% of its eligible full-time employees and their dependents, then the employer will be subject to a penalty in the amount of $2,000 for each full-time employee (after 1 st 30); B. If employer offers minimum essential coverage, but fails to satisfy the affordability and minimum value requirements, then the employer will be subject to a penalty in the amount of $3,000 for each full-time employee receiving exchange subsidy
14 Health Care Reform: 2014 Impacts Shared Responsibility: Definition of Full-time Employees expected to have 30 or more hours of service per week each hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the employer; and each hour for which an employee is paid, or entitled to payment Variable Hour & Seasonal Employees Full-time status for variable hour or seasonal employees can generally be determined on annual basis by looking at actual hours worked during prior calendar year ( measurement period ) Measurement period must be a defined time period New employees hours may be averaged over a period of 12 months from date of hire and then transitioned to calendar year determination period For 1/1/2014, the one-year look-back measurement period would begin 1/1/2013, however for this first year, employers can use a shortened period of 6-12 months, beginning no later than 7/1/2013 If employee averages at least 30 hours per week during the one-year measurement period, that employee MUST be eligible for health coverage during the entire following year
15 Health Care Reform: 2014 Impacts Shared Responsibility: Affordability Safe Harbors IRS has issued three optional safe harbors. An employer will not be subject to a penalty if the employee cost for self-only coverage does not exceed 9.5% of the following: 1. Employee s W-2 wages (as shown in Box 1); 2. Employee s Rate of Pay employee s monthly pay for salaried employees or the hourly rate multiplied by 130 for hourly employees; or 3. Federal Poverty Line for single individuals for the state where individual is employed. An employer may choose to use one or more of the above safe harbor methods as long as the chosen method is applied on a uniform and consistent basis for all employees within a reasonable classification. Shared Responsibility: Controlled Groups Members of a controlled group are aggregated to determine large employer qualification. For determination of whether a mandate penalty is due and how much is to be paid, members of the group are treated individually. To calculate the penalty, the 30-employee reduction must be allocated proportionately among members of the group.
16 Health Care Reform: 2014 Impacts Benefit Enhancements (Varies Contingent on Market) States determine essential benefits coverage Each state chooses one of four (4) existing plan options to model as benchmark One of the three (3) largest small group plans in state; One of the three (3) largest state employee health plans; One of the three (3) largest federal employee health plan options; The largest HMO plan offered in the state s commercial market Essential benefits do not apply to self-insured plans, grandfathered plans and large group market health plans Actuarial Value Requirement Plans must meet minimum actuarial value requirements (60% - 90%) A.K.A. metal standards Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Reduction in allowed plan differentials 5% Guaranteed Issue / No Pre-existing Conditions
