Does auto-enrollment apply only to new hires or to all employees that are not enrolled currently?
The law requires employers with more than 200 employees to automatically enroll new full-time workers in one of the company’s health plan. Employers must provide employees with adequate notice regarding auto-enrollment and the opportunity to opt out of such coverage. Employers will have to wait until HHS publishes regulations to establish when the provision will become effective. Many believe that auto-enrollment will start in 2014 with the other employer requirements.
