Changes in Store on September 23 Will Help Small Businesses Offer Health Coverage
Guest post by Jay Angoff, Director of the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at the Department of Health and Human Services
Like many small business owners, you probably want to provide health insurance for your employees. It’s one of the benefits that employees appreciate and value the most. And it’s a great way to retain good employees. Nobody wants to be wondering what will happen to them if they have a car crash or need surgery.
The good news is that the Affordable Care Act makes it easier for small businesses to cover their employees’ insurance needs right away. The law was passed in March and certain provisions go into effect this year. Starting this year, if you have up to 25 employees, pay average annual wages below $50,000, and provide health insurance, you may qualify for a small business tax credit of up to 35% to offset the cost of the insurance. That credit will increase to 50% for qualifying businesses in 2014.
