         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
         Mobility Services has posted all federally required annual notices on ADP and our intranet for you to download and read at your
         convenience.

         The following is a list of the annual notices:
         •   Medicare Part D Notice of Creditable Coverage
         •   HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
         •   Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA)
         •   Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act
         •   Special Enrollment Rights
         •   Medicaid & Children’s Health Insurance Program
         •   HIPAA Notice & Privacy Packet
