Mintz Levin Discusses Employer Responding to Marketplace Notices

In "What’s an Employer to Do (with Marketplace Notices)?", Mintz Levin explains that:

"Under the Affordable Care Act’s employer shared responsibility rules, applicable large employers (those with 50 or more full-time and full-time equivalent employees on business days during the preceding calendar year) incur exposure for assessable payments under Internal Revenue Code § 4980H when an applicable premium tax credit or cost-sharing reduction is allowed or paid for one or more low- or moderate-income full-time employees who have been certified to the employer as qualifying for an advance premium tax credit under Code § 36B. The final Code § 4980H regulations refer to this certification as a “Section 1411 Certification,” which is a reference to Act § 1411(a). This provision gives the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) the authority to determine whether individuals are eligible to enroll in qualified health plans through a public exchange and whether they are eligible for a premium tax credit."
