Paperwork Burden Reduction Act
Congress quietly passed the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act (H.R.3797
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/3797), signed into law on December 23, 2024. The act includes changes to employer requirements for furnishing Affordable Care Act forms 1095-B and 1095-C. Currently, employers must provide a copy of this information to covered individuals by January 31 of each year (or later if extensions are provided).
To alleviate the burden on employers, the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act amends the requirement surrounding employee copies, which are only to be enforced if requested by the employee. If requested, employers must provide the form by January 31 or 30 days from the date of the request.
