ACA employer mandate:changes facts of business life
Are you ACA payroll-literate?
Standard measurement period
Initial measurement period
Administrative periods
Stability periods
Safe harbor
Rule of parity
Shared responsibility payment
Minimum essential coverage
Minimum value
• Adds to – with intricate calculations – the vocabulary of payroll and HR departments in every company
• Redefines a ‘full-time’ employee and a ‘large’ employer
• Severely limits the ability of employers to split a company into separate entities in order to avoid offering health care coverage
• Requires that employers with 50 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees choose to ‘play’ or ‘pay’
Play: Work within new federal guidelines for offering coverage
Pay: Not offer coverage and instead contribute to a fund that helps workers find coverage elsewhere
• Sets ‘affordability’ standard for employee contribution to his or her coverage
• Brings a monthly lens to payroll reporting – traditional quarterly and yearly breakdowns don’t make the cut for ACA reporting compliance
• Creates the need for all employers – regardless of their play-or-pay decision – to enhance their payroll systems for new coding and tracking of employee data

Elements of ACA enforcementThrough its AIR system = Affordable Care Act Information Returns
The IRS will know for every employee:• Whether he or she has health insurance
and if it was subsidized [return from Applicant]
• What coverage the employee has [return from Insurance Provider]
• If the employee’s coverage came from an exchange, and when [return from Exchange]
• In what month the employee was eligible for coverage at work and if – at that time – he or she was offered by his or her employer an ACA-compliant plan [return from Employer]
13
ACA returns that the IRS will be crunching
… and its ACA siblings:
Form 1040
Individual’s tax return, Line 61 of which states whether coverage was acquired
Form 1095-B
Insurance provider’s statement of an individual’s coverage
Form 1095-A
Health Insurance Marketplace statement that an individual received coverage through a federal- or state-run exchange
Form 8962
Statement of Premium Tax Credit from an individual who received subsidized coverage on an exchange
Form 1095-CEmployers’ statement of availability of employer-sponsored coverage
