The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) have recently issued more FAQs and proposed rules that address several employer obligations under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
On Jan. 24, 2013, the DOL issued a FAQ that delays the due date for providing employees with a notice about the affordable health exchanges. The notice had been due March 1, 2013 but the due date has been delayed until late summer or early fall of 2013. The delay will result in the notice being provided closer to the start of open enrollment for the exchanges, which will begin Oct. 1, 2013, for a Jan. 1, 2014, effective date.
