ACA Compliance
The law
The addition of section 6056 to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) makes it mandatory for an Applicable Large Employer (ALE) to adhere to certain guidelines as laid down in the said section. Every ALE company is required to assure that at least 95% of their employees and dependents have are covered by compliant health insurance. An ALE company has to keep records and file annual returns with the IRS and provide employees a copy of their health insurance coverage.
AMGtime helps companies to:
- See if their business is considered ALE or not based on the ACA compliance rules
- Track accuracy of look-back periods due to 3 types of federally protected unpaid leave of absences.
- Generate 1094-C and 1095-C reports which need to be filed with the IRS at the end of each year.
