In this course, we’ll talk about employer reporting under the Affordable Care Act. This is a requirement that’s been around for the last five years, but with COVID-19, 2020 reporting could be even more challenging than normal. The reasons are numerous: employers have other things to focus on right now, including keeping their business open; many employees have worked reduced hours or come back to work after being furloughed, making counting employees difficult; and some employers have reduced their employer contribution during this challenging time, which could now subject them to penalties.

Because brokers will no doubt get lots of questions in the months ahead, it’s important that they understand the basics of employer reporting, understand what has recently changed, and know how to talk with their clients about the importance and benefits of outsourcing this responsibility to a professional administrator.
