| Will your clients face penalties as a result of the individual mandate?
Healthcare Reform and the Individual Mandate The individual mandate, a critical component of healthcare reform, requires that adults in the Commonwealth purchase health insurance unless it is not affordable for them. This program will address the question of how Massachusetts state agencies will implement the individual mandate. Representatives of the Connector, the Department of Revenue, Health Law Advocates, and the Probate Court will discuss how individuals can meet the mandate, what standards will apply to determine whether an individual must pay a penalty or will be deemed exempt due to affordability considerations, and how penalties will be calculated and appealed. The panelists will also discuss the processes that will be in place to determine the insurance status of individual taxpayers. For any practitioner with clients concerned about whether they may face penalties as a result of the individual mandate in the upcoming tax filing season, this seminar will give you a chance to learn about the systems in place to implement the law.
