On June 28, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the constitutionality of the individual mandate provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Accordingly, PPACA’s current health insurance reform provisions will remain in force and we will continue implementing the law, as applicable.
There will be no impact on implementation of PPACA for employers, which will need to continue the process of activating the various provisions, including the employer mandate, which will go into effect in 2014.
In addition, there will be no impact on JA Benefits’ existing PPACA compliance and implementation efforts – all of which will continue to be in effect.
JA Benefits will continue to implement PPACA, assist our clients with compliance and remain actively engaged with lawmakers and other stakeholders. We will continue to provide additional guidance and strategic direction in health reform in the coming weeks.
