Affordable Care Act

 

State Agencies

The Affordable Care Act was passed in March 2010 in an effort to expand insurance coverage to all Americans. For BEACON agency temporary employees who are eligible for health insurance the North Carolina State Health Plan offers the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).

State agencies are required to comply with the guidelines and rules established by this legislation. An Affordable Care Act Guide for State Agencies will assist agency leaders with implementing these guidelines, along with a Sample Enrollment Benefit Letter. Read the Frequently Asked Questions for more information. Additional questions can be answered by your agency's HR Directors.
