History And Terminology
The Affordable Care Act, or ACA, was signed into law on March 23rd, The ACA is the federal legislation that includes Employer Shared Responsibility (ESR) provisions. The ACA added two employer reporting requirements to the Internal Revenue Code taking effect in 2015: Code § 6055 requires employers that provide minimum essential coverage (MEC) under a self-funded plan to provide an annual statement to covered employees and former employees (including information about covered dependents). Code § 6056 requires applicable large employers (ALEs) to provide an annual statement to each full-time employee detailing the employer’s health coverage offer (or lack of offer).

New Filing Requirements For ALE’S
ALE Members An employer with 50 or more Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employees is an Applicable Large Employer (ALE) under the ACA. Transitional relief has been given to ALE’s with 50 – 99 FTE’s. The ACA treats aggregated employer groups such as parents or subsidiaries, or control groups, as single employers for purposes of determining large-employer status under the ESR requirement. Each employer within the control group is identified as an “ALE Member”. An ALE member may be a part of such a group, but a single employer—not affiliated with other employers — is also identified in the rule as an ALE member, even though it is only a member of itself.

Final Draft Forms 1094C And 1095C
Self-Funded Plans If the employer self-funds its plan(s), the employer also will use Forms 1094-C and 1095-C to report information to employees and the IRS. There are differences in the requirements for employers with self-funded plans under the ACA, including requirements that apply regardless of whether the employer is an ALE or not. Employers of any size that provide minimum essential coverage (MEC) under a self-funded plan are to provide an annual statement to covered employees and former employees, including information about covered dependents. If you self-fund any plan providing minimum essential coverage in 2015, regardless of whether you are an ALE, identify all covered persons (e.g., full-time employees, part-time employees, dependents).
