Affordable Care Act Update; Information Sessions Set
As of Oct. 1, 2013, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will require every American to carry some form of health insurance; health insurance exchanges will be available at the beginning of October. Employers are required to provide notification of the exchanges to all new hires and current employees. All IPFW faculty and staff including graduate appointees and student workers will be emailed or mailed notification of the health insurance exchanges by the end of September.
The measurement period will begin Oct. 1, 2013, and continue through Sept. 30, 2014. Any employee who averages 30 hours or more per week during that time period will be eligible for health insurance starting Jan. 1, 2015. During the measurement period, departments will need to track hours for non-benefitted employees. Read the details (PDF)

Helpful Reminders Regarding Email Spam
 Spam is a moving target due to the way it is sent. It is very rarely sent from the same address, and can even be spoofed so that it appears that it is being sent from a legitimate source. IPFW Information Technology Services strives to block as much of these unwanted emails as possible and is able to block most of the spam messages that the campus receives. However, there are still some holes that the messages can fall through. This is because there are numerous IP addresses, and ITS doesn't want to risk blocking genuine campus communications.
