Is the requirement for employers to enroll children in health care coverage based on a notice from Child Support Enforcement a new requirement?
No. Most employers are already familiar with notices that require them to withhold premiums from employees when a parent is ordered to provide health care coverage for his or her child(ren). The National Medical Support Notice is a new, federally-required form that serves the same purpose. The form was designed in consultation with a federal workgroup that included representatives of major employers, payroll associations, insurance administrators and government representatives. Their intent was to provide employers with a standardized set of forms, processes and timeframes – something employers had requested.
