 Kaiser Permanente will support customer early renewals in Q  Some disadvantages with early renewal Some groups will benefit from rating changes under the ACA. It will delay access to the SHOP, new benefit plans, and enhanced small employer tax credit. 26 5/8/2013 | © Kaiser Permanente All Rights Reserved. Early renewal available for small groups

 Definition of small employer under the ACA does not include sole proprietorships or S corporations unless they enroll at least one non-spouse, common-law employee, i.e., non-owner employee who receives a W-2 and is listed on a DE9C.  CA AB 1083: “For plan years commencing on or after January 1, 2014, the definition of an employer, for purposes of determining whether an employer with one employee shall include sole proprietors, certain owners of ‘S’ corporations, or other individuals, shall be consistent with Section 1304 of ACA.”  ACA Section 1304 defines employer by reference to PHS Act 2891, which incorporates by reference ERISA Section 3(5). Federal law does not classify an individual and his or her spouse as employees when the trade or business is wholly owned by the individual or by the individual and his or her spouse. 27 5/8/2013 | © Kaiser Permanente All Rights Reserved.
