Why C is correct
ACA Sections 1511-1515 add a notice requirement to the Fair Labor Standards Act, under which covered employers must give each employee a written notice describing the existence of the Marketplace, how to contact it, the services it provides, and the possibility that the employee may qualify for a premium tax credit and cost-sharing reduction if the employer's plan is unaffordable or does not provide minimum value. The notice is informational only; it does not select a plan for the employee and creates no reimbursement obligation for the employer.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) An employer does not select a Marketplace plan for its employees through this notice. The notice points employees to the Marketplace to shop for themselves.
- B) Nothing in the notification provisions requires an employer to reimburse an employee who buys Marketplace coverage instead of the employer's plan.
- D) The notice is not a statement of employer liability. It tells employees about coverage options, not what the employer may owe.
Memory hook
The notice is informational: here is the Marketplace, and you may qualify for help.
