Under the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act, MARESA is no longer required to automatically mail IRS Forms 1095-B and 1095-C to employees. These forms are now available upon request.
Understanding Forms 1095-B and 1095-C
Form 1095-B is issued by health insurance providers and confirms that you had qualifying minimum essential health coverage during the tax year. Form 1095-C is issued by applicable large employers (those with 50 or more full-time employees) and reports the health insurance coverage offered to you. Both forms are used when filing your federal tax return.
How the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act Affects You
The Paperwork Burden Reduction Act, signed into law in 2024, eliminated the requirement for employers and insurers to automatically mail 1095-B and 1095-C forms to individuals. Instead, employers must make the forms available upon request and notify employees of their availability. You do not need these forms to file your taxes, but you may request a copy for your records.
