Affordable Care Act

The 1095-C is a new tax form given to all health insurance-eligible employees and required under the Affordable Care Act. It contains detailed information on their state employee health insurance coverage offered by Kansas State University. The 1095-C form is required for filing 2016 taxes and serves as a "proof of insurance statement" for the IRS.

The form identifies:

• The employee and the employer
• Which months in 2016 the employee was eligible for coverage
• Minimum monthly premium under the plan

A 1095-C form will be sent to Kansas State University employees who met the following eligibility criteria for 2016:

• Considered full time employees by the ACA definition
• Worked an average of at least 30 hours per week
• Eligible for state employee health insurance including those who declined/waived coverage.

The Affordable Care Act requires employers to send the 1095-C form to all employees who meet eligibility criteria in 2016. (See question: Who receives a 1095-C form?)

If you did not meet one of the eligibility criteria in 2016, you will not receive a 1095-C form from the State of Kansas

Yes, if you were eligible for health insurance and offered coverage through State of Kansas.

No, if you were not eligible for health insurance and were not offered coverage through the State of Kansas.

1095-C forms for State of Kansas employees are available to print through the State of Kansas Membership Administration Portal (MAP). K-State employees are able to sign into MAP with their eID and password through HRIS > Employee Self Service> Benefits > Health Insurance Enrollment. When logged into MAP, the 1095-C form is located on the Forms tab on the Account Overview page, under "Tax Forms."

The 1095-C forms will also be mailed directly to the employee's mailing address listed in MAP. To view the mailing address, go to "Contact Information" on the Member and Family page tab.
