The UBA Compliance Team continues to work to ensure you and your clients are well informed about issues possibly affecting employee benefit plans. They have updated one Advisor and issued two new Advisors on final  forms for 2018 ACA reporting and on handling benefits when employees are on leave. Email and Microsoft Word versions are now available on AdEase.

The IRS has just released final forms and instructions for 2018 ACA reporting by employers with 50 or more full-time (or full-time equivalent) employees to verify that individuals have the required minimum essential coverage, individuals requesting premium tax credits are entitled to them, and applicable large employers are meeting their shared responsibility.

Log in to AdEase from the Wisdom Network to download the email or print version of this Advisor, titled "IRS Releases Final Forms and Instructions for 2018 ACA Reporting."

In response to recent questions from Partners about medical loss ratios (MLR) rebates, the Advisor covering "MLR Rebate Considerations - Private Plans" has been updated. Due to its length, this Advisor is available only as a Microsoft Word document.

Employers often have questions about benefits they must maintain for employees who go on leave. This new Advisor summarizes common types of leave and focuses on federal laws. Download the email or print version of "How to Handle Benefits When an Employee is on Leave."

These Advisors are all available for download from AdEase. Check the "All Compliance - By Date" under Compliance to easily find them at the top of the list.
