ACA HIX deadline for employers pushed back

According to Politico, the administration is pushing back an ACA deadline for employers to inform workers about health insurance exchanges. Additional details are available in this FAQ released today.

The ACA originally called for employers to provide employees with a written notice no later than March 1, but the Department of Labor (DOL) has pushed the date back to late summer or fall — around the time of open enrollment for exchanges. The DOL determined the employer notice should be timed with HHS outreach efforts and IRS guidance on minimum value, and the administration said the extra time would help employers.
