Legislative Update
Affordable Care Act Question of the Week: Grandfathering

We are introducing a new section in the Legislative Update called the “Question of the Week” to provide employer groups with answers to frequently asked questions regarding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). We hope you find this information helpful. If you have a question about an ACA provision, contact your account representative.
 
Will grandfathering end? Can a group remain grandfathered in 2014 at renewal if they continue to meet the ACA grandfather requirements?
To date, there has not been any guidance or language from the federal government to suggest that grandfathering will end. As long as the group continues to comply with existing grandfathering rules, they can remain grandfathered. To learn more about changes that can trigger a loss in grandfathered health plan status, refer to the Grandfathered Plan Fact Sheet.
