As we ring in the new year, 2017 will be bringing forth some changes to some Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements. These are applicable to employers with 50 or more employees. The key 2017 ACA changes for school, city and county employers include:

  • Plan design changes
    • Cost-sharing limits
    • Health FSA contributions
  • Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC)
  • Reinsurance fees
  • Employer shared responsibility rules
    • Health plan affordability
  • Reporting of coverage
    • Section 6055
    • Section 6056

In preparation for these changes, schools, cities and counties should review the upcoming requirements and develop a strategy to ensure that they will continue to be in compliance. Download the 2017 ACA checklist to learn what’s changing and what action steps should be taken.
