New Jersey Clarifies 2019 Individual Mandate Reporting
The State of New Jersey has again updated the information related to employer reporting beginning in 2020 under New Jersey’s individual health insurance mandate that went into effect January 1, 2019. Employers (including out-of-state employers) who provided health coverage to New Jersey residents enrolled in self-funded group health plans must issue participant statements by March 2, 2020 and remit to the state by March 31, 2020 the same Forms 1095-C provided to the IRS for calendar year 2019.
Employers with fully insured plans may generally rely on the insurance carrier to issue statements and file required information with the state. New Jersey has established the statement issuance date and filing deadline to coincide with recent IRS guidance for ACA reporting compliance.
