Affordable Care Act Required Notice of Health Insurance Marketplace:

Employees with health insurance coverage; generally, no action is required.

Employees without benefit coverage; read this notice to find out your options under the new law.

You are receiving this notification as required by law. Beginning in 2014, most individuals will be required to have health insurance coverage. When key parts of the health care law take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health insurance: the Health Insurance Marketplace, (Health Insurance Exchange). Washington Healthplanfinder is the Marketplace serving Washington State residents. This notice provides basic information about the Marketplace as well as PEBB benefits offered by your employer and is intended to assist you in evaluating options for you and your family.

Employees with health insurance:All eligible state employees receive an employer contribution for PEBB medical plan enrollment and are not allowed to waive medical coverage to enroll in coverage through the Marketplace.

However, if the cost of a PEBB health plan to cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household income for the year, or does not meet the “minimum value” standard set by the ACA, you may be eligible for a tax credit or other financial assistance.

Employees not eligible for employer contribution: Employees who are not eligible for the employer contribution for PEBB medical plan enrollment should consider applying for health benefits in the new Marketplace.

Visit for more information.For Washington State residents, visit:

Information about PEBB health plans offered by your employer is available online:

If you decide to complete an application for coverage in the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide the following information. This information is numbered to correspond to the Marketplace application.

As your employer, we offer a health plan to:

All employees.

Some employees.

With respect to dependents:

We do offer coverage.

We do not offer coverage.

If checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard, and the cost of this coverage to you is intended to be affordable, based on employee wages.Even if your employer intends your coverage to be affordable, you may still be eligible for a premium discount through the Marketplace. The Marketplace will use your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.
