Employer/Plan Reporting Regulations and ACA Guidance on HRAs and Individual Policy Funding
IRS released two proposed rules on information reporting under the ACA in September 2013. Transition relief for 2014 was provided for these reporting requirements in July (IRS Notice 2013-45), stating that IRS will not impose penalties for failure to timely report coverage provided in 2014. Plans and employers must comply for coverage provided on or after January 1, 2015. The first information returns must be filed in 2016.
This webinar will explore the proposed rules on information reporting of minimum essential coverage as well as the proposed rules on information reporting for applicable large employers.
This webinar will also review the Department of Labor Technical Release 2013-03 providing guidance on the application of the ACA to health reimbursement arrangements, group health plans under which an employer reimburses an employee for some or all of the premium expenses incurred for an individual health insurance policy, as well as health flexible spending arrangements.
Learning Objectives

- What information must be included in the applicable large employer (ALE) reporting to IRS and the employee statements?
- What are the potential simplified methods for ALE reporting?
- Can employers use a premium conversion plan to assist employees in paying for individual policies inside and outside of the Exchange?
