For your 2022 document, go to Workday > Benefits > My ACA Forms.  For records prior to 2020,  please access in Banner Self-Service.

Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Saint 浪花直播 University must report health coverage information to the Internal Revenue Service and provide a statement (Form 1095-C) disclosing health care coverage information to covered employees (medical plan participants) and any other covered individuals, such as COBRA participants, Long Term Disability (LTD) or certain retirees.

The information provided on 1095-C for plan participants will include any dependents covered. Dependents will not receive a separate form. If your dependents file a separate tax return, just copy your Form 1095-C for their records.

Yes, you may reference the information on 1095-C form when completing your federal taxes. You will not submit the 1095-C form, but you should retain it with your tax records.

You do not have to wait to receive the 1095-C form to file your individual income tax return. The IRS has provided more on the form.

Other forms of documentation that you can use to provide proof of your insurance coverage include:

• Health insurance cards
• Benefits statement from Banner Self-Service
• Explanation of benefits
• W-2 or payroll statement reflecting health insurance deductions
• Any other statements indicating that you, or a member of your family, had health care coverage

Benefits become effective on the employee's first day of regular benefit eligible employment, provided online enrollment and dependent verification is submitted in a timely manner. Enrollment must occur within the first 31 days of employment. Members of a collective bargaining unit may have to satisfy a probationary period prior to insurance coverage. Such members should refer to their collective bargaining agreement for specific details.

Your current benefit elections can be found in Workday, by clicking the benefits application, then clicking benefit elections in the view column. 

Changes are generally only permitted during the annual open enrollment period, unless you have a qualifying event during the year. Open enrollment is usually in November of each year, with the requested changes taking effect the following January 1. Open enrollment is the time during which an employee may add or drop dependents to their plans (without a qualifying life change event), as well as change the plan options selected. 

After your initial 31-day enrollment period, the only time to enroll yourself or add a dependent to your plan is during open enrollment, or upon a qualifying event. Such events may, but are not limited to, include birth, adoption, marriage, death or loss of coverage under a different plan. These changes must be made within 31 days of the qualifying life change event. 

Supporting documents may be required when requesting coverage for dependents, or for a qualifying event.
