Question about coverage under the ACA [View all]

My college son works part time for a privately owned company with more then 50 employees. Will his employer be required to provide insurance for him, even though he is covered under our insurance until he is 26? Does anyone know how that works? Will his employer be able to get a waiver?

His company has to offer it to him, doesn't have to "provide" it to him. He can opt out and stay on cbdo2007 Nov 2012 #1

If he works part time, the employer probably isn't required to offer it to him democrattotheend Nov 2012 #3

The definition of 'full time' for the ACA has been changed to 30 hours per week. n/t PoliticAverse Nov 2012 #4

I did not realize that. democrattotheend Nov 2012 #5

Apparently the IRS released the rule on Aug. 12, 2012... PoliticAverse Nov 2012 #6
