Employers are starting to receive notices from public exchanges indicating that one or more employees are currently receiving a subsidy when purchasing individual health insurance coverage through a public Exchange, which could potentially trigger employer penalties under §4980H.
If an employer receives such a notice for one of its employees, the employer has a right, but is not required, to appeal when they feel an employee should not be receiving a subsidy because the employer offers minimum value, affordable coverage.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your Lyons Employee Benefits team. Lyons is here to assist you with your efforts to be compliant.
