The Obama Administration announced Tuesday, July 2, 2013, that it would delay enforcement of the employer mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) for one year until 2015. In addition, the Administration is also extending to the employer shared responsibility payments for an additional year to 2015. Under the employer mandate in the ACA, large employers (i.e., an employer with at least 50 full-time employees) must offer health insurance that provides a minimum level of coverage or pay a tax penalty if an employee receives a government subsidy or premium tax credit to purchase insurance on one of the new insurance exchanges under the ACA.

DOMA and How It Will Affect Employer-Sponsored Benefits |
On June 26, the Supreme Court struck down the provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defined marriage as a legal union between a man and a woman. With this ruling same-sex couples, that are legally married, require the same treatment, under federal law, as opposite-sex couples. There are currently more than 1,000 federal laws giving rights and benefits to any married opposite-sex couple. All of these are now extended to any legally married same-sex couple in a state where that marriage is recognized. This major shift should prompt employers to review their health and retirement benefits to identify changes that need to be made for spouses of employees. |
US Department of Labor Launches Enforcement Data App Contest |
|
The Department of Labor (DOL) has begun seeking entries for a contest to design a smartphone application that would provide DOL enforcement data. The app would incorporate social-media applications with DOL enforcement data allowing users to research businesses and find DOL enforcement actions. The app is also expected to be a tool for job seekers to research prospective employers.
