BETHESDA, Md. — The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) is hosting a complimentary webinar on May 15, 2013, at 11 a.m. EDT on the impacts of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The webinar will be presented by Anita Baker, managing partner, Employee Benefit Plans, CliftonLarsonAllen LLP.

This webinar contains vital information that will affect most everyone in the industry. Beginning in January 2014, many individuals will be required to have minimum essential health insurance coverage or pay a penalty (an individual mandate). Certain employers with more than 50 full‐time equivalents that do not offer qualified health insurance, or offer unaffordable coverage, may be subject to penalties if any of their full‐time workers enroll in exchanges and receive premium assistance tax credits.

Baker will provide an overview of the ACA including the regulatory requirements for 2013 and beyond. She will also present a case study of a business that illustrates the financial impact that the ACA has on the company and the factors that influence their decision to continue to provide health insurance or to drop the coverage. This session is ideal for business owners, COOs, CFOs, human resource directors, office managers or any other decision makers of a company with 50 or more employees.
