Hey, Section 1411 Notice, Where Have You Been?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has many requirements, and the mandate that health insurance Marketplaces (“Exchanges”) send a notice to employers regarding employees who purchased subsidized coverage through a Marketplace is commonly overlooked. These notices, referred to as “Section 1411 certifications” (because they’re outlined in Section 1411 of the ACA), are part of a process established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to verify that only eligible individuals receive health insurance subsidies.
Follow The Instructions, and Your Gag Clause Attestation Will Turn Out Fine
In May of this year, the Internal Revenue Service and the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services released updated versions of the Submission Instructions and User Manual for the Gag Clause Prohibition Compliance Attestations (GCPCAs) due by the end of 2024. This update includes several notable changes to the annual submission process for group health plans and issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage.
Mental Health Parity, Fiduciary Certifications, and Short-Term Implications
As many of you know, the Department of Labor (DOL) released their much-anticipated Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) Final Rules last month. Many of the more significant updates to the requirements don’t take effect until a plan’s renewal on/after January 1, 2026, but a few notable items will begin applying in just a few months, once a plan renews on/after January 1, 2025. These provisions include a new fiduciary certification, a codified termination of the MHPAEA opt-out opportunity for non-Federal governmental plans, and both new and revised definitions for relevant terms.
