Employees in 2016 to prove coverage offered is sufficient Alliant will ensure that the College is aware of all of the IRS reporting
Guidelines
Cadillac Tax – 2018 The Cadillac Tax will require employers to pay an 40% excise tax on any
portion of health insurance premium that is over a pre-determined threshold Assuming trend increases for the next three years, health insurance

ACA OVERVIEW PAY OR PLAY PENALTIES
7
Penalty A Employer does NOT offer
Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) to “substantially all full-
time ee”
$2,080 per each full time
employee less 30 (less 80 in 2015)
Penalty B Employer does offer MEC,
but it is not Affordable
1 FT EE goes to the Exchange, enrolls and
gets subsidized coverage
$3,120 per each subsidized employee
Effective October 1, 2015 for Cabrillo College (if the District offers affordable coverage to all ACA FT employees as of October 1, otherwise the effective date is January 1, 2015
© 2015 Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. All rights reserved. Alliant Employee Benefits, a division of Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. CA License No. 0C36861 8
To avoid Penalty A, Employers are required: To offer access to coverage to essentially all (95% or more in) of FT employees
(as defined) and dependents up to age 26 but there is no mandate to offer coverage for spouses “Currently defined” - Variable or part time employees, including substitutes,
could be considered full time and These employees could expose the College to Penalty A if they represent
more than 5% of the full time work force 70% for 2015 – New – Moves to 95% or more starting in 2016 No requirement to pay for dependent coverage
ACA OVERVIEW TO AVOID PENALTY A
© 2015 Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. All rights reserved. Alliant Employee Benefits, a division of Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. CA License No. 0C36861 9
To avoid Penalty B At least one plan offered to full time employees and dependent children up to
age 26 must be: Of minimum value (60% of medical expenses paid by plan) Affordable for self-only coverage – 9.5% or less of Box1 Wages, FPL, or
Rate of Pay, depending on applicable Safe Harbor No requirement by ACA to offer coverage to spouses No requirement to contribute to cost of dependents
Penalty B is $3,120 per year ($260 per month) on any employee that meets all
of these requirements Qualifies for a federal subsidy from the Exchange based on total
household income (excluding MediCal eligible participants) Elects and receives subsidized coverage from the Exchange Demonstrates that the lowest cost, minimum value coverage offered by
the employer was not affordable for self-only coverage

ACA OVERVIEW SAFE HARBOR AFFORDABILITY TESTS
10
The IRS has developed safe harbor tests A safe harbor is a means of complying with the law using a prescribed test
W2 Earnings Safe Harbor Test
The employee share of the premium required for the least costly, self only coverage must be less than 9.5% of the W2, box 1 wages paid to the employee
Rate of Pay Safe Harbor Test
Single coverage employee cost is less than 9.5% of employee’s lowest hourly wage x 130
Federal Poverty Level Safe Harbor Test
This method examines whether the cost of coverage exceeds 9.5% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL)
An employer satisfies the FPL safe harbor if the employee’s contribution for the lowest cost plan for self-only coverage does not exceed 9.5% of FPL (See chart)

*Maximum contribution is based on monthly maximum affordable employee contribution for single coverage based on 9.56% of household income.
The FPL safe harbor is based only on the FPL for a single individual for the applicable calendar year (divided by 12 – to get the monthly amount). Employers may use the FPL guidelines in effect six months prior to the beginning of the plan year.

Requirements to avoid penalties: Coverage available must be at least a minimum actuarial value (60% of the cost of services) and must be affordable for the employee coverage on the lowest cost plan offered by the College. Solution: SISC renewals include a minimum value “Bronze” plan. It will not count against the maximum permitted number of plans SISC allows a group to offer. It will include only the minimum coverage required by ACA It will only feature two-tiers: Employee Only and Employee + Child(ren). It will NOT include an option for spousal/domestic partner coverage. It will NOT be offered with any option for dental, vision or life coverage.
The primary purpose of the plan will be to allow Colleges to avoid exposure to Penalty A and B by: offering access to a minimum value plan to employees who HAD NOT previously
qualified for SISC coverage and, providing a more affordable plan for single only coverage to employees who HAD
previously qualified for SISC coverage.

ACA OVERVIEW CALCULATING HOURS OF SERVICE
16
# Regular
hours worked
# Months in
measurement period
# Hours of
paid time off + special
unpaid leave
Average #
hours worked per
month
All employees # Hours of paid time off: include
vacation, PTO, sick time, teacher breaks of at least 4 consecutive weeks
# Hours of special unpaid leave: includes jury duty, USERRA and FMLA. These leaves don’t count against employees.
Rehires Use all hours worked during measurement period if:
Break in service is 13 weeks or less
o 26 weeks or less for education employees
Rule of parity
Can treat as new employee if break in service is more than 13 weeks (26 weeks for education employee)
© 2015 Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. All rights reserved. Alliant Employee Benefits, a division of Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. CA License No. 0C36861
ACA OVERVIEW BREAK IN SERVICE RULES
Break in Service Rules
Employees must have a break in service of 26 weeks before they can be placed in a new initial measurement period or otherwise treated as a new employee for the purposes of pay or play
For employment breaks of 4 or more weeks, the employer must “credit” hours of service as follows:
Determining the average hours of service per week for the employee during the measurement period, excluding the employment break period, and using that average for the employee for the entire measurement period; or
Crediting the employee with hours of service for the employment break period at a rate equal to the average weekly rate at which the employee was credited during the other weeks in the measurement period.
NOTE Educational organizations are not required to credit employees with more than 501 hours of service for any employment break
period in a calendar year (applies to continuing employees, not rehires; does not include special unpaid leave)

ACA OVERVIEW ADJUNCT FACULTY
Counting Hours of Service for Adjunct Faculty The Employer Shared Responsibility IRS Section 4980H document,
provides the following guidance for counting hours of service for adjunct faculty members who work variable hours: Employers should use a reasonable method of crediting hours of service that is
consistent with the purposes of section 4980H An instructor’s hours should include not only classroom or other instruction time, but
also include necessary hours that are needed to perform the employee’s duties such as classroom preparation time, etc.
A method of crediting hours of service would not be reasonable if it only accounts for some of an employee’s hours of service with the goal to redefine as non-full time (for employees in positions that traditionally involve more than 30 hours per week). The Final guidance expressly allow crediting an adjunct faculty member with 2 ¼
hours of service per week for each hour of teaching or classroom time as a reasonable method for this test
Other methods can be used as long as they are “reasonable”

ACA OVERVIEW STUDENT WORKERS AND VOLUNTEERS
Student Workers The final regulations provide that hours of service do not include hours of service performed
by students in positions subsidized through the federal work-study program or a similar state or local program
There is no exception for student workers overall
Volunteers The final regulations do not directly refer to stipend employees, however there is language
included regarding “Bona Fide Volunteers”
Hours of service for purposes of the pay or play rules do not include hours worked as a “bona fide volunteer.” The term “bona fide volunteer” means any employee of a government or tax-exempt entity whose only compensation from that entity or organization is in the form of:
(i) reimbursement for (or reasonable allowance for) reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of services by volunteers; or
(ii) reasonable benefits (including length of service awards) and nominal fees customarily paid by similar entities in connection with the performance of services by volunteers.

o Note—new employees hired to work full-time must be offered coverage no later than 60 days of date of hire (CA) – recently repealed back to 90 days
New variable hour, seasonal or part time employees whose hours of service measure as full-time will be considered full-time during the associated stability period
An ongoing measured employee will always be in a measurement period and a stability period

ACA OVERVIEW: CADILLAC TAX WHAT IS A CADILLAC HEALTH PLAN ?
25
The Affordable Care Act includes a tax on benefit rich plans, known as the “Cadillac Tax”
The tax is for health plans that have lower out-of-pocket costs and most health care services are covered
The excise tax is 40% on any health plan premium over the following thresholds:
$10,200 for Single Coverage
$27,500 for Family Coverage
Higher limit for workforces with older populations
These amounts are benchmarked to the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan (FEHBP)
The Cadillac Tax includes the following:
Medical premiums
Non-Excepted Dental and Vision Premiums
FSA, HRA and HSA Contributions
The Cadillac Tax is meant to be charged to plan insurers and plan sponsors and would be collected and used to help defray America's multi-trillion dollar health care plan
The Cadillac Tax is scheduled to become effective January 1, 2018

The Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) is an extraordinarily complex law that will impact all areas of medical insurance in the U.S. Both federal and state agencies have been and will continue to issue temporary and final regulations that materially impact compliance requirements and necessitate new or modified compliance actions. This document and the related resources are intended to support a best practice approach to ACA compliance based on known regulations and practical responses to an evolving landscape. ACA compliance will be an ongoing process that will require regular updates to an employer’s strategy based on new regulations and marketplace developments. This document provides general information regarding the mandates under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It does not provide a review of, or ensure compliance with, ACA mandates. Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. does not provide legal advice or legal opinions. Please consult counsel if a formal legal opinion is desired.
