The following alert was provided by our HR Partners at Mineral.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires employers to notify all workers, regardless of their benefits eligibility status, about the availability of the Health Insurance Marketplaces. All employers, with limited exceptions, are required to distribute the notice to new employees within 14 days of hire. The Department of Labor (DOL) provides customizable model notices to inform workers of their health insurance coverage options.
The DOL published updated model notices as follows:
- Model notice for employers that offer a health plan to some or all employees in English (MS Word) (printer-friendly) and in Spanish (MS Word) (printer-friendly)
- Model notice for employers that do not offer a health plan in English (MS Word) (printer-friendly) and in Spanish (MS Word) (printer-friendly)
The model notices have an expiration date of July 31, 2023. The previous versions expired on June 30, 2023.
