SHOP Healthcare Workshop for Small Nonprofit Employers 

with speaker Rhea Aguinaldo of Small Business Majority

Did you know that businesses and nonprofits with 50 or fewer employees (100 or fewer starting in 2016) can shop for employee health care plans in the new health benefit exchanges, and possibly even get a tax rebate? 

Join us for this timely and engaging workshop to discuss the Affordable Care Act  and what it means for small nonprofit employers in California. We will focus on the key federal and state provisions impacting small employers and what new health insurance options are available. Topics Include:

• Covered California – a one-stop shop online health insurance marketplace where small businesses and the self-employed can shop for health coverage for their needs and budget
• Small business tax credits (available to businesses and non-profits) – who is eligible for them and how to claim them
• New consumer protections
• New options for employee wellness programs 
• How the law contains health insurance costs
• Employer and Individual Shared Responsibility
• Tools and resources available for small organizations
