Hi all - Long 1095C Report is ready to be run. Thanks!

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

We have run 'Long 1095C Report'.
Refer latest run '12/28/2017 10:24:37 PM' to download.
PFA QA verification checklist for additional information.

Observation: MEC indicator is marked as 'NO' for all 12 months.

Thanks!

Hi all - please re-run this group. Please note that I have included all of the classes under Class 1 as they want a 1095C form for all of their employees including part-time, temps and interns. I also changed their customization to not be conditional - again I'm not sure how this got changed so would be great if we could start tracking this in the future through the history.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

This group has been run. Please find the below run details for verification.

HI all - I can't figure out why some of the employees are still getting 1E for some months (example Kenneth Allen). I show the EE only cost is lower than the FPL and the employee is not marked as part-time on the analysis. Please advise. Thanks!

Also - I need the attached uploaded (I didn't see the template to upload it from the UI). Password is standard convention.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

Employees got 1E for some months because the rate of minimum cost plan that was eligible to them changed effective 09/01/2017. Their cost is greater than 9.5% (as adjusted) of mainland single federal poverty line.
i.e : FPL Amount : $12060
Per month FPL amount: $12060/12=$1005
9.5% of $1005 = $95.47.

From IRS Site :
1A: Qualifying Offer: Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to full-time employee with Employee Required Contribution equal to or less than 9.5% (as adjusted) of mainland single federal poverty line and at least minimum essential coverage offered to spouse and dependent(s).

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

This group has been re-run by applying correction. Please find the below run details for verification.

Observation:
1. A.Qualifying Offer Method=Yes, D.98% Offer Method=No
2. MECIndicator- All 12 months -No

While importing, System has been given bad file for the reason of Invalid Code - Bad_ACA 1095C Correction Import- LONG201_25_2018 03_42_40 AM.zip , we have imported it by correcting as 1H/2D instead of 1A/2D.

Password is based on defined standard convention.

Thanks,

Thanks - for some reason I thought the FPL was $97.38 for 2017.

HI all - I thought the FPL was 9.69% (which is also what we show as the standard on the ACA Parameters tab) -

All - I really need to get an answer to this. I'm very worried this is a universal issue across all clients and I need to know if I need to pull the files we've already sent to the mail house or not.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

9.69% is actually the safe harbor percentage. For 2G/F/H ,this 9.69% is used to calculate affordability safe harbor cost.
So,if employee cost is less than $97.38 and if plan uses FPL safe harbor then only 2G code will get populated.
9.69% is not used for calculating 1A.
As mentioned in IRS 1095C instructions, for 1A,employee cost must be less than or equal to 9.5% of FPL amount.

Hi Jennifer Leugers

We have changes the FPL % from 9.5 to 9.69 for long company where 241 distinct employees code has been changes from 1E to 1A.

Please download the latest run with run date 1/26/2018 11:46:12 PM.

We will scan all the companies and let you know the details.

Samir,Ramya Tantry,Revansiddha Gaur,Sachin Hingole,Satya,Smita Pawar,

All - I'm totally confused. Ramya's comments were that the 9.69% is NOT used to determine 1A but then in Nandu's comments, we made the change and some employees changed from 1E to 1A. Could you please help me understand which comment is correct?

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

Please disregard my comment.
Please refer to Nandu's comment. Nandu has already sent you a separate mail regarding FPL percentage issue where in all production companies were scanned and 5 companies where affected.
All the affected companies and their 15 reports have been re-run. Please refer to the attached excel sheet containing report names with run details. FPL percent issue.xls.
In excel column "Affected Employee Count " have a count of employees whose line 14 has been changes from 1E to 1A.

Total Employees affected for all production companies are 1055.

Note: As you have sent some of the drafts to print so if required we can send you only affected employees PDF's report wise,this will reduce the reprint overhead.

Please let us know you view on the same.

CC:Nandkumar Prabhakar Karlekar,Smita Pawar

Yes please provide the affected employee's PDFS. Could you make sure they say corrected on them? Thanks.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

In LONG company,239 employees where affected.
We have furnished 239 employees PDF's only with Form status as Corrected.
Please refer run dated "1/30/2018 11:30:36 PM" for 239 employees PDF of report "Long 1095C Report".
In case you require PDF's of all employees along with affected employees,please refer run dated "1/26/2018 11:46:12 PM" of report "Long 1095C Report".

To furnish only 239 employees PDF, we had to do some changes in the back-end. We have reverted those changes and also removed corrected form status from the report customization too.

Since you are using latest run for consolidated download of other draft approved affected companies (Austin and DMA), latest changes are already present in that run.

All - why did the Long run go from 475 employees to 239?

Hi all - I see now (didn't see the comment before). But they were the only ones that I didn't send to the mailhouse yet so I need their full run. Could you please do this ASAP? I need to get their forms to them this morning.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

As mentioned in my earlier comment, Please consider run dated "1/26/2018 11:46:12 PM" for their full run.

Oops thanks! I do need the corrected PDFS for the other companies as I need for the client to approve just those; they had already approved their previous file so I don't want to give them the full file again.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

Till now, Austin and DMA 's drafts have been approved.So we will generate corrected PDF's only for Austin and DMA. Please confirm

Please also provide for Del Norte.

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

We will provide affected employees PDF's of Austin,DMA and Del Norte by tomorrow EOD as we need to do some manual back-end changes to furnish the same.All these PDF's will be marked as Corrected.

All it looks like Long is still incorrect; there are still a lot of 1Es showing on their analysis. Please look into this ASAP.

We are also showing some 1E / blanks - is that due to their premiums being over the FPL amounts?

Hi Jennifer Leugers,

There are 1E's because their employee cost is greater than FPL amount.We have verified some of the employees.
1. Karen L An :- Jan-Aug : 1A/2C , Sept-Dec : 1E/2C
Rates of ACA plan changed from Sept.This minimum rate($146.08) is greater than FPL amount.

2. Aaron M Morris : Jan-Dec : 1E/2C
Minimum Employee cost($454.22) is greater than FPL amount.

3. Destry J. Atkinson: Jan-Dec : 1E/Blank, Line15 : $454.22
Employee's salary is set in Benefit salary.However,on ACA Parameters page, salary to be considered is set as W2 wages.
As per implementation, if W2 wages on employee payroll is blank,we consider gross annual salary by default. Gross annual salary is also 0,so safe harbor cost comes up as 0.As employee cost is greater than 0,line 16 comes up as blank.

NOTE: Please verify ACA Parameters as which to salary is to be considered. For some of the employees,benefit salary is set as 0.
