I received a text from a friend in HR at corporate where I work.
A bit of background: I've worked for the company for 27 years. Recently I cut back to 22 hours a week to concentrate on my writing because as a granfathered employee, I only needed 20 hours for my benefits.
My friend's text now says that the law requires me to have 30 hours to maintain insurance. I'm uncertain as to why, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the Affordable Care Act. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thank you for your time.

(6,679 posts)Your employer is allowed to provide any benefits they want to under 30 hr employees. ACA only says once you have 30 hrs they have to at least provide bronze level and then only if the business is included in ACA.
So if you are being cut off it's not ACA.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]The company I work for used to provide benefits for employees working 20 hours/week, too, but now requires 30. Nothing whatever to do with the ACA.
