California Individual Mandate Act Senate Bill 78

Effective January 1, 2020, the California legislature enacted the Minimum Essential Coverage Individual Mandate Act.  The individual mandate requires each California resident to ensure that the individual, and any spouse or dependent, are enrolled in minimum essential coverage (MEC) for each month or pay a penalty.

What does the California Individual Mandate Act mean to you?

 If you are not currently enrolled in any medical coverage, you should enroll in a medical plan meeting the Minimum Essential Coverage, or you may have to pay a penalty on your CA income tax return filed in 2021.  An adult who is uninsured in 2020 can be penalized a state tax charge of $695.00 or 2.5% of his or her gross income. A family of four could pay a penalty of at least $2085.00.
All Reta plans meet the minimum essential coverage (MEC) requirement, so anyone enrolled in a Reta plan, will meet the mandate requirement for each month of coverage.
If you are not currently enrolled under a Reta medical plan, but covered under other health coverage (such as another employer’s group health plan, Medicaid, Medicare, a plan through the Covered California Marketplace, or other individual coverage that meets the MEC standard), you are not required to enroll in a plan through your employer and will meet the mandate requirement.
