Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed

Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed

Obama administration announced that the employer shared responsibility mandate also known as “Pay or Play” aspect of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will be delayed by one year.

This mandate requires businesses with 50 or more workers to provide health insurance coverage to employees. As a result, the administration will start enforcing the mandate in 2015, rather than January 1, 2014, in an effort to give businesses more time to prepare.

There will be additional changes tied to this delay, and the administration has stated that they will provide formal guidance within the next week.

More details will be available for our  July 11th WebMeeting.  Medical Solutions Corp  is working with the various regulatory agencies to understand the specifics surrounding this ruling, and will continue to provide updates through Legislative Alerts and on our blog.
