The Affordable Care Act added section 6056 to the Internal Revenue Code, which requires every Applicable Large Employer (employer having 50+ more full-time or full-time equivalent employees) to file health insurance coverage information offered to their full-time employees using Form 1095-C with the IRS and furnish copies of Form 1095-C to the enrolled employees on-time.
Note: A full-time employee is one who was employed on average at least 30 hours of service per week or 130 hours of service per month.
