2 Strategic Items Play-or-Pay compliance New IRS Reporting Requirements ERISA compliance Creative solutions, including private exchange model (defined contribution)
3 Employer Mandate Refresher Two parts: (1) penalties & (2) reporting requirements Potential Penalties under 4980H(a) or 4980H(b) Effective beginning 1/1/15 for employers with 100 or more FT + FTE (measured during 2014*) Effective beginning 1/1/16 for employers with FT + FTE (measured during 2015) Reporting Requirements Apply for 2015 calendar year for all employers with 50 or more FT + FTE (measured during 2014*) 3
4 Employer Mandate: 100+ Groups 2015 items for 100+ employers Ensure that all 30+ hour employees have been identified If no plan or a carve-out plan for any months during 2015, understand application of penalty reduction number (80) Any 4980H(a) penalty ( sledgehammer ) assessed for 2015 would be: # of full-time employees in each month, minus80, times $167/month If offering skinny plan ( MEC ) or MVP plan, assess all scenarios Affordability analysis (9.56%) & applicable safe harbors Consider whether 3-month grace period rule for first year of Applicable Large Employer status may help 4
5 Employer Mandate: Groups 2016 items for employers Confirm effective date of Play-or-Pay 1/1/16 or non-calendar renewal date if transition rule met Ensure that all 30+ hour employees have been identified If no plan or a carve-out plan for any months during 2016, understand application of penalty reduction number (30) Any 4980H(a) penalty ( sledgehammer ) assessed for 2016 would be: # of full-time employees in each month, minus30, times $167/month If considering skinny plan ( MEC ) or MVP plan, assess all scenarios Affordability analysis & applicable safe harbors 5
6 New Reporting Requirements IRS Code 6055/6056 reporting Required for all Applicable Large Employers for 2015 Includes FT + FTE groups exempt from penalties in 2015 First reports due in early 2016 for 2015 calendar year Timelines & submission methods track W-2 rules 6055: Insurer or self-funded plan sponsor reporting 6056*: Plan sponsor reporting, including Form 1095-C to full-time employees & 1094-C to IRS Employer data items: list of 9 categories Forms & instructions have been finalized for 2014 (informational only) but not More guidance to come. Keys for employers right now: (1) assess data tracking requirements; (2) examine need/options for outsourcing 6
7 Overview By Employer Size & Plan Type <50 fully insured plan No reporting required 50+ fully insured plan Carrier: Form 1094-B; 1095-B Employer: Form 1094-C to IRS Form 1095-C to F/T EEs <50 self-funded plan Employer: Form 1094-B to IRS Form 1095-B to F/T EEs 50+ self-funded plan Employer: Form 1094-C to IRS Form 1095-C to F/T EEs Current (2014) forms are available with instructions Even if reporting is outsourced, data from employer will be required in process Examples: Month-by-month EE counts for 1094-C; monthly coverage & enrollment codes for employee 1095-Cs 7
8 Under 50 groups What Must Be Filed? Small employer with fully insured plan No reporting required as long as prior year employee count remains under 50 FT + FTE Small employer with self-funded plan Employer must submit Form 1095-B to all covered individuals by 3/31/16 Employer must submit Form 1094-B to IRS by 2/29/16 (or by 3/31/16 if submitted electronically) Note: the small employer is still exempt from the employer mandate penalties this is simply a legal requirement due to self-funded status 8
9 50+ fully insured plan What Must Be Filed? Carrier is required to submit Form 1095-B to all covered individuals by 1/31/16, & Form 1094-B to IRS by 2/29/16 Employer must submit: Form 1095-C to each employee that was full-time for at least one month during 2015 (due by 1/31/16) Form 1094-C to IRS by 2/29/16, or 3/31/16if filed electronically 1094-C is transmittal form sent to IRS with copies of all Cs sent to full-time employees 9

Note: Rules allow a 3rd party (TPA or carrier) to submit forms on behalf of employer. However, legal responsibility is the employer s as self-funded plan sponsor. 10
11 Strategic summary ERISA Compliance Requirements have not changed; there is simply additional attention as part of Compliance Era ERISA rules apply equally to all employers other than government entities & church-related entities; however, practical analysis different for 100+ than <100 Primary keys: (1) SPDs; & (2) Form 5500 reporting SPDs: Every ERISA plan requires a compliant SPD Wrap SPDs or Consolidated Wrap SPDs needed in many cases Form 5500s: Required for every health/welfare benefit with 100+ employee participants on 1 st day of plan year 11
12 Private Exchange Model Defined contribution method is available to all employers; full range of non-taxable & taxable benefit options Built as part of employer s Section 125 plan as a flex credit (cafeteria plan credit) design Many options, including which specific benefits are available, how credits are ordered/allotted, & any cashout provision Keys: Method of enrollment & communication Specific program design Compliance: (1) Section 125 SPD w/ credit details (2) Tax analysis
13 Other Hot Topics Viability of MEC/MVP plans for groups subject to Playor-Pay in 2015 or 2016 Employer reimbursement of individual or Marketplace premiums no longer allowed (taxable or non-taxable) Limited transition relief: IRS Notice Small group premiums Small group definition will be uniform 100 (FT + FTE) for 2016 Age-banded community rating applies outside of keep your plan exception Employers may convert to composite rates, but considerations apply Spousal health coverage exclusions Employers have 4 options for spousal coverage Considerations exist for employers seeking to exclude
