26 Oct UBA’s November webinar focuses on the ACA’s $100 a day penalty
UBA’s November webinar focuses on how to avoid triggering the excise tax and how to pay it in the event a penalty is due. Joseph J. Lazzarotti will present. Lazzarotti is a shareholder in the Morristown, New Jersey office of Jackson Lewis P.C.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires employers and plan administrators to self-report a variety of failures to comply with group health plan requirements, including many related to COBRA, HIPAA, Mental Health Parity, and comparable contributions for health savings accounts (HSAs).
The excise tax is $100 a day, per affected individual.
