When the Affordable Care Act (ACA) rolled into town, a lot of things changed for employers, regardless of their industry. However, there are a few types of employers that are given special rules under the ACA. Educational organizations are one of them.
While employers just wrapped up the third year of ACA reporting, there are still challenges that educational organizations encounter when it comes to tracking employees and offers of health coverage.

Regulatory compliance costs the health care industry upwards of $200 billion annually, according to a recent report from the American Hospital Association. With most health care compliance issues related to patient safety, privacy of patient information, and billing practices, Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance and reporting may not be top of mind.
Since being signed into law eight years ago, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has undergone many stops, starts, and changes. No two years have been the same, making keeping up with compliance even more challenging. ACA requirements are complex, and the cost of mistakes can be high.

If you’re in charge of a hotel, restaurant, casino, spa, or other hospitality business, congratulations! You have even more challenges, and more to lose, when it comes to Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliance.
ACA compliance can be a hair-pulling slog for applicable large employers (ALEs), a category many hospitality businesses fall under. If you’re part of this group, you already know you have to offer affordable, minimum-value coverage to full-time employees (those who work at least 30 hours per week).

It may be 2018, but 2015 is still top of mind – at least in terms of Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting.
The IRS has been sending penalty letters to applicable large employers (ALEs) that may be liable for employer shared responsibility payments (ESRPs) from 2015 under the ACA.
This is the first year the IRS is sending Letter 226-J to employers, so there are bound to be questions. We’re here to help explain what the letter means and what you can do to avoid paying expensive fines.
Applicable large employers (ALEs) have just completed the third year of Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting. Until now ACA compliance activities such as tracking employees, offering appropriate benefits, and reporting to the IRS have generally fallen on HR departments. In many instances, employers may receive assistance from a trusted advisor like a benefits broker or CPA.

The final deadline for Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting was on April 2. Are you an applicable large employer (ALE) that missed this e-filing deadline for ACA Forms 1094-C and 1095-C?
One year after President Trump took office vowing to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the law still stands.
Yet many people assume it has been repealed, even though the requirement for an employer to offer health care coverage to full-time employees is still in effect.

Yes, ACA reporting is still on for 2017.
If you were doubting that 12 months ago, or even six months ago, we can’t blame you. This time last year, health care reform efforts in Congress seemed poised to change how employers’ reporting and compliance requirements worked. President Trump signed a number of executive orders in the following months, attempting to dismantle various provisions of the ACA.
With another year gone and the ACA still intact, another round of reporting is upon us, which means many employers are once again scrambling to prepare. With more than 2 million ACA forms filed, we’ve learned a thing or two about ACA compliance.
