Legislative Update
Updated Flowchart on Individual Coverage Now Available

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most U.S. citizens and legal residents to have health insurance on Jan. 1, 2014.

We have updated our flowchart that gives individuals a short decision tree to determine whether they may be exempt from the Individual Shared Responsibility provisions, whether they have adequate coverage and whether they may pay a penalty.

You can use the flowchart to explain to employees what coverage they have and what they might need.
