What you need to know and learn to understand Pay or Play ACA Pay or Play Regulations and Language: What is an applicable large employer? What is an FTE? How to count FTEs? How do the penalties work? PMEC/Skinny Plans/MVP/Narrow Plans Affordability 2015 rules vs 2016 rules – group size, penalties Transition relief rules - All employee test/All FT employee test These are the high points -THIS IS NOT ALL!!!! Expect the rules to change 5

For the Individual - Employee What does ACA mean for an individual? 1.Individual Mandate says individuals must have health insurance or pay a penalty. Penalty starts at $95 for 2014 then in 2016 escalates to $695 or 2.5% of taxable income (which ever is greater). 2.Insurance can be employer provided or an individual plan. Must be qualifying Minimum Essential Coverage. 6

What type of coverage must I offer? Employer coverage must meet TWO levels of tests under Section 4980H “A” test – “The Sledgehammer” Must provide Minimum Essential Coverage to 95% of full-time eligible employees (70% in 2015) The Penalty? $2,000 per full-time eligible employee less the first 30 (80 in 2015) Penalty triggered by employee going to the Exchange and receiving subsidy 9

What type of coverage must I offer?
