What happens if an employer offers medical coverage and an employee refuses it and can afford it?
In short, employers subject to the mandate must make a fair and reasonable contribution to their employees’ health insurance. (Please visit the Division of Unemployment Assistance for information about the Fair Share Contribution (FSC).) If the employer offers and the employee refuses, the employer has the employee sign a HIRD form that shows what the minimum monthly premium on the least expensive plan would have cost that the employee turned down. If the employee is not covered under a spouse’s plan, and can afford to pay and doesn’t, the employee will lose his or her personal exemption in most cases when filing their return.
