Dear Scott,
Thank you for your ongoing efforts to educate business
owners and their employees about the Affordable Care Act and its requirement
that most U.S. residents have health care coverage. We appreciate that you and
Small Business California have partnered with Health Law Guide for Business to
ensure that small and ethnic business owners, and their employees, know about
their options to get covered.
To help small business owners and their employees get the
health insurance they need and deserve, we’ve created a toolkit of easy-to-use
materials that can be shared with those who may have questions about their best
available options.
Health Insurance Information Toolkit
The toolkit materials are available in English and Spanish
and can be printed from our website:
·
The English materials can be found at
·
The Spanish version is at
This toolkit includes:
·
Fact sheets with information about what the ACA means for small
businesses, including information about tax breaks for businesses or
premium subsidies for individuals.
·
A health coverage eligibility guide to
determine the programs for which employers, their employees and family members
are eligible.
·
And tools for employers to share with employees,
including:
o A
poster to
hang in break rooms or other places where employees gather.
o An
on-board
letter to share with new employees that provides information on how to
contact Covered California, Medi-Cal or a certified insurance broker for
information about individual plans.
Help Spread the Word
We hope that all California small business owners and their
employees can use this information to get covered, and we are asking that you:
·

onto your webpage to make the information easily available to visitors to your
site through a quick click. The code to download our link is http://www.healthlawguideforbusiness.org/link-to-us.

share. Health Law Guide for Business will cover printing and postage. To

Thank you for helping to get important information about how
to get covered into the hands of small business owners throughout
California. Our goal is to see all small business owners, their employees
and their families have the information they need to enroll in a health
insurance plan that’s right for them. If you have any questions, please contact

The Insurance Commissioner has recommended a very small increase for workers compensation effective January, 1 2015. The increase was from an average rate of $2.74 to $2.77.
This was lower than expected and was attributed to the passage of SB 863 which Small Business California strongly supported a couple years ago.
The Workers Compensation Bureau has started publishing Experience Modifications for 2015.
Keep in mind that these are averages and insurance companies are not bound by this.
