“”If the spouse is covered under a plan defined by the Affordable Care Act as minimum value and affordable, he or she will no longer be eligible.””
And just how many people and how many man hours will it take to determine that? May have to hire a bunch of new employees that will cost more in salary than the insurance premium for the spouse. Great thinking!
Pretty easy to implement I'd think.
You cancel all the spousal coverage.
And put the burden of proof on the employee to bring in tax returns showing no W-2s for the spouse.
If there are W-2s, employee must produce an affadavit from that employer verifying no coverage available.
