Background Information About the Exchange Notice
If you are unfamiliar with the Exchange Notice requirement, below are a few key points to note:
- Under the Affordable Care Act, employers are required to provide all new hires with a written notice about the ACA’s Health Insurance Exchanges, which are also known as Marketplaces.
- Employers must provide the Exchange Notice to each employee, regardless of plan enrollment status or of part-time or full-time status.
- The DOL considers a notice to be provided “at the time of hiring” if the notice was provided within 14 days of an employee’s start date.
