b. Affordable Care Act Compliance: The County insurance
reporting requirement for groups with more than 50 full-time
employees changes in 2016. “6055” is a form from BCBS that every
individual covered by insurance will receive that verifies they did
have coverage.
The County also has to report that it did offer coverage of at least
minimum value and meets minimum essential coverage. The County’s
report will go to the IRS.
The form has a lot of different specialty coding. For this year
only, there is no penalty for a good-faith effort to accurately
complete the forms. There will be a penalty beginning in 2017.
The County can either complete the form itself or can hire a
vendor to complete it for the County. The forms can be filed
electronically or via paper. The forms are due to all employees by
January 31 and the reporting is due to the IRS by February 20.
