Employment Status and ACA 12-Month Look-Back Measurement
Variable Employees
Work a different number of hours from week to week (includes on-call workers). Hours are tracked for the first year. If the employee averages 130 hours per month their first year, coverage will be offered at that time. Once an employee enrolls, they will be in a stability period until hours are evaluated for the next year’s open enrollment eligibility. The stability period allows the employee to retain coverage if they are consistently receiving paychecks and paying premiums.

ACA Guidelines
Under the ACA guidelines, a returning employee with a break of service less than 13 weeks will be considered active. Therefore, if the employee was previously enrolled in coverage, the waiting period will be waived and all previous benefits will be reinstated the 1st of the month following the date of return. Returning employees will need to email benefits@tcwglobal.com prior to the benefits effective date to have their coverage(s) reinstated.
