On December 2, 2019, the IRS issued Notice 2019-63, which extends the deadline for distributing Form 1095-B tax forms for the 2019 tax year to full-time employees as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The new deadline for furnishing forms 1095-B is March 2, 2020.
Fully insured groups: Despite the extension, Premera Blue Cross is committed to distributing Form 1095-B to members by January 31, 2020.
- Electronic delivery: Your employees who signed up for our 1095-B electronic delivery option will receive an email from Premera this month with details on how to access their form through their online member account.
- Delivery by U.S. Postal Service: Members who didn’t sign up for electronic delivery will receive hard copies of their form via mail.
Self-funded groups: It is your responsibility to send the 1095-B tax form directly to your employees.
