Running
a business is hard work and employers don’t have a lot of time to
follow new laws and their deadlines. However, small business owners and
their employees need to know that March 31, 2014 is the deadline for
most Americans to obtain health insurance coverage or face a tax
penalty.
Health Law Guide for Business is here to help business owners
understand their options for obtaining coverage, both for themselves
and their employees. Over the next several weeks, we will be
releasing four one page fact sheets explaining the basics of the law.
We will cover the potential tax benefits of providing coverage,
information on the new health insurance marketplace called Covered
California, penalties for not obtaining coverage, and resources that
employers can share with their employees about how to get
covered. Each fact sheet is designed front and back, one side in
English and one side in Spanish.
The
first fact sheet is a brief introduction to the
Affordable Care Act for business owners, covering the most important
information they need to know now. It is available for download
now. We hope that you will print it out, review it and share it
with every employer you know. If you represent an organization of
businesses, please share this free resource with your members.
We hope that you will find the information useful as you decide what
health care options are best for you and your employees. Once again,
click here to view the first
edition and stay tuned for three additional fact sheets in the next
several weeks. And as always, visit
www.healthlawguideforbusiness.org
for the information that employers need to know now about federal
health care reform.
