Employer Mandate 2020

Employers must offer health insurance that is affordable and provides minimum value to 95% of their full-time employees and their children up to age 26, or be subject to penalties. The mandate applies to employers with 50* or more full-time employees, and/or full-time equivalents (FTEs) who work 30+ hours per week. Employers are required to offer coverage that provides “minimum value” and is “affordable,” or be subject to penalties.

Find health coverage exemptions

Most people who don’t have qualifying health coverage must either pay a fee or qualify for an “exemption.”
Health coverage exemptions are available for a variety of reasons: certain life events, health coverage or financial status, group membership, and more. If you qualify, you don’t have to pay the penalty for the months you were uncovered and the exemption applies.
