Notice - Change in 1095-C Distribution

IMPORTANT HEALTH COVERAGE TAX DOCUMENTS

Previously, all employees would receive a 1095-C each year under the rules of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This form shows proof of medical coverage for the employee/retiree and their spouse and dependents. However, as a result of the Paperwork Burden Reduction Act (PBRA), signed into law in December 2024, employers are no longer required to automatically distribute Form 1095-C. Instead, employers must now provide these forms only if requested by the employee. If an employee needs a copy of their Form 1095-C, they should contact Finance Department/Payroll, and the form will be provided within 30 days of the request. These changes apply to the 2024 tax year and beyond. A notice outlining the employee’s right to request these forms will also be provided. For more information or to request a form, employees are encouraged to reach out.

We will implement this practice for the 2025 Tax reporting year.

For more information or to request a form, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Finance Department/Payroll at payroll@bloomfieldct.gov, 860-769-3535 or 800 Bloomfield Avenue, Bloomfield, CT  06002.
