Re:          Availability of 1095 Forms for 2020
In accordance with requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and various reporting requirements of other jurisdictions; UC employees will receive 1095-B and/or 1095-C forms verifying their health coverage for 2020. The forms are informational only and are not to be filed with tax returns.

General Reminders Regarding 1095-Cs and 1095-Bs

   *         Employees defined as full-time under the ACA (those who work 75% time or more) will receive the 1095-C from UC. Parts I and II of the 1095-C will be populated for all employees; only those enrolled in UC's self-insured plans (Core, Health Savings Plan, UC Care, the Resident program administered by UC Health) will have Part III populated.

   *         Employees defined as not full-time under the ACA who are plan members of UC's self-insured plans (Core, Health Savings Plan, UC Care, the Resident program administered by UC Health) will receive Form 1095-B.

   *         All plan members of UC's fully insured plans (Health Net and Kaiser Permanente) will receive Form 1095-B directly from the plan.

   *         All forms will be sent via paper copy - no electronic copies will be available for the 2020 tax year. Employees should expect to receive their 1095s over the next few weeks (USPS delays notwithstanding).

Questions, Corrections and Reprints

   *         Employees with general questions about the 1095 Forms should be referred to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website/Affordable Care Act/Questions and Answers about Health Care Information Forms for Individuals<https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/questions-and-answers-about-health-care-information-forms-for-individuals>.

   *         Requests for corrections:

o   For forms issued by the fully insured plans, employees should call the plan.

o   For forms issued by UC on behalf of UCPath, UCPath representatives will need to confirm the correction and generate a new 1095.

   *         Requesting duplicate copies - UCPath Employees:

1.     Log on to the UCPath portal

2.     Scroll down to the Forms Library

3.     Click on Records to complete a Benefits record request
