IMPORTANT INFORMATION
California Individual Mandate
Even though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) penalty for not having health coverage (known as the individual mandate) has been
reduced to zero, if you are a taxpayer in California, you will still be required to have health coverage (unless you qualify for an
exemption) or pay a penalty for the 2020 tax year. Several other states have reinstated an individual mandate requirement and
others are considering doing so in the future. You may consider these options to satisfy this requirement:
• Enroll in a medical plan offered by Alexander’s Mobility Services or another group medical plan meeting the requirements for
minimum essential coverage;
• Purchase coverage through a health insurance marketplace;
• Enroll in coverage through a government-sponsored program if eligible.
However, if you choose to purchase coverage through the marketplace, because Alexander’s Mobility Services medical plans are
considered affordable and meet minimum value under the Affordable Care Act, you may not be eligible for a subsidy, and you may
not see lower premiums or out-of-pocket costs through the marketplace. In addition, employer contributions to your medical
benefits will be lost and your portion of medical premiums will no longer be paid via payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis
Annual Notices
Various state and federal laws require that employers provide disclosure and annual notices to their plan participants. Alexander’s
