• A 44-year-old woman from Clayton – whom the guide met through Westside’s partnership with $tand By Me – will pay $64 a month after her tax subsidy.
• A Houston couple met a guide at the Milford Library. The wife, who has a pre-existing condition and a mental health condition, hasn’t had insurance for the past 5 years. They will pay $203 a month.
• A Bear couple in their 40s, who haven’t had insurance for 7 years, will pay $207 a month after their tax subsidy and are excited to finally have coverage.
Recent Updates
On February 10, 2014, the U.S. Treasury Dept. and the IRS announced final regulations regarding the employer shared responsibility payments.•Under the Affordable Care Act, companies that have fewer than 50 employees are not required to provide coverage or fill out any forms in 2015, or in any year, under the Affordable Care Act.•Companies with 50-99 employees that do not yet provide affordable health insurance to their full-time workers will report on their workers and coverage in 2015, but have until 2016 before any employer responsibility payments could apply.•Large employers (100 or more employees) that offer coverage to 70 percent of their workers will be counted as fulfilling the employer mandate. By 2016, those employers will need to hit the original 95 percent target.

Penalty
If someone who can afford health insurance doesn’t have coverage in 2014, they may have to pay a fee. They also have to pay for all of their health care.
•For 2014, consumers will pay whichever of these amounts is higher:
• 1% of yearly household income. (Only the amount of income above the tax filing threshold, $10,150 for an individual, is used to calculate the penalty.) The maximum penalty is the national average yearly premium for a bronze plan.
• $95 per person for the year ($47.50 per child under 18). The maximum penalty per family using this method is $285.
•The fee increases every year. In 2015, it’s the higher of 2% of income or $325 per person. In 2016 and later years it’s the higher of 2.5% of income or $695 per person.
•For those uninsured for just part of the year, 1/12 of the yearly penalty applies to each month without insurance. Those uninsured for less than 3 months do not have a penalty.
