The hustle and bustle of the holiday season has come to a close, and New Year’s resolutions are being set. Everything from health, wellness, travel, and self-care to accomplishing new and bigger goals are all things we’re thinking about right now. Coming up with manageable resolutions can sometimes be tricky, but we always aspire to be our best in the new year. So why not kick off the new year with a resolution to complete a successful ACA year-end process? And I know that may not be something you are thinking of when it comes to resolutions, but accomplishing that goal so early on in the year may help you strive to check those other resolutions off the list. We want to help you achieve and check this resolution off the list, so we’re sharing several ACA resources to help keep you on track.
ACA Manager Checklist
The ACA Manager Checklist is your guide for all things ACA reporting.

The checklist is broken down into six sections to ensure you complete all the required tasks for a successful ACA filing.
- Healthcare plans
- Benefit profiles

- Employee information
- Reporting that can assist in the audit process
- ACA system settings
