Central to this obligation are two essential forms: the 1095-B and 1095-C, which play a significant role in ensuring compliance with ACA regulations.

What are Form 1095-B and Form 1095-C?

Form 1095-B: This form reports information about employer-sponsored health insurance offered to individuals outside of the Health Insurance Marketplace . It details the months of coverage for each enrolled individual, including dependents.

Form 1095-C: This form reports information about employer-sponsored health insurance offered to full-time employees of applicable large employers (ALEs) , regardless of whether the employee enrolled in the plan. It also applies to part-time employees (Whose work hours are min 30hr s per week) who enrolled in self-insured coverage offered by an ALE.
