No. For your employees enrolled in SHBP self-insured plan options (i.e., BCBS HRA, BCBS and UHC HMO, and UHC HDHP), Applicable Large Employers (ALEs) are responsible for fulfilling all of the applicable reporting requirements under Sections 6055 and 6056 of the ACA, and this includes any transmission of Forms 1094/1095-B or 1094/1095-C. As the plan administrator, and not a health insurance issuer or ALE, SHBP is not required to transmit forms under Section 6055 or 6056. For your employees enrolled in the SHBP fully-insured plan option (i.e., Kaiser Permanente HMO), ALEs are responsible for fulfilling all of the applicable reporting requirements under Section 6056 of the ACA, and this includes any transmission of Forms 1094/1095-C. Kaiser Permanente, the insurance issuer, will prepare and transmit Forms 1095-B.
Yes. SHBP has been coordinating with ADP to develop a process for providing information to employers that may be used to assist with the ACA filing requirements for ALEs. For non-PeopleSoft employers, including CSBs and public health districts, there are ACA test files available for your utilization on the State Health Repository Tool (SHRT) and the ACA production files will be available on January 11, 2016. Furthermore, SHBP has provided technical guidance on the system requirements and file testing and has conducted technical trainings to assist non-PeopleSoft employers. The link to the webinar training is available at https://dch.georgia.gov/benefit-coordinators. For PeopleSoft employers, SHBP is coordinating with the state-wide vendor selected to provide ACA reporting services to fulfill the reporting required under Section 6055. However, although SHBP will provide some information needed to complete this reporting, the responsibility, and any related liability, for satisfying ACA requirements will remain with the ALEs.
No. Because these individuals are no longer located within a payroll location, SHBP will coordinate to fulfill the reporting requirements related to these individuals.
No. ALEs should retain their own legal counsel, or utilize counsel provided by their governing body, to ensure they are complying with the ACA’s requirements. SHBP will not provide guidance to ALEs regarding the provisions of the ACA, such as employee classification, notice or filing requirements, or potential liability for non-compliance.
