If you're enrolling in Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) insurance, you need to confirm that your business
meets enrollment requirements
by using the new SHOP Eligibility Determination Form.
To complete your SHOP eligibility
determination, you’ll have to enter some basic information about your business
and confirm that:
- You
have between 1-50 employees
- At
least one employee enrolling in coverage is not a business owner or spouse of a
business owner
- You
have a business location in the state where you’re applying for SHOP coverage
- You
are offering SHOP insurance to all full-time employees
If you’re eligible, you should keep the response for your business's
records. You may need to provide it to your insurance company to enroll in coverage, or to
the IRS to claim the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit.
NOTE: If you're renewing existing SHOP coverage and haven’t experienced a gap in coverage,
you don't need to re-verify eligibility. Your eligibility status will carry over.
