ACA Final Data Report, Deadlines and Webinar Reminder

Posted on Posted in Group Benefits

The final data report from NRECA to help your cooperative prepare for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax reporting requirements for the 2019 tax year was released on Monday, January 13, 2020. The report was provided through the Message Center to all co-ops in the NRECA Medical Plan, and those that sponsor a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) administered by Cooperative Benefits Administrators. Report notifications were sent to your co-op’s primary benefits administrator, as indicated in NRECA’s records, for the subgroups he or she administers.
