Full-time employees and ALE

If you are an ALE Member, you must file Form 1095-C for each employee who was a full-time equivalent employee for any month of the calendar year.

Also, an ALE Member who sponsors a self-insured health plan must file part III of Form 1095-C for each employee (regardless of whether the employee is a full-time employee) who enrolls in the self-insured health coverage or enrolls a family member in the coverage, for any month of the calendar year.
