Case History
A lawsuit was filed in the United States Court of Federal Claims alleging the Department of Health and Human Services improperly required self-administered, self-insured employee health and welfare benefit plans to make Transitional Reinsurance Contributions for benefit years 2014, 2015 and/or 2016 under the ACA (despite falling outside of the statutory language). It is impossible to predict the outcome, but money may become available to eligible class members if a settlement is reached with the U.S. Government and approved by the Court in the future.
*This Summary pertains to the Takings Class. There is, however, an additional class in this litigation which includes self-administered, self-insured employee
health and welfare benefit plans who were subject to the assessment and collection of the Transitional Reinsurance Contribution under the ACA for the benefit year of 2014 (the “Exaction Class”). Unlike many other class actions, you must have opted in to participate in this Exaction Class by December 19, 2022.
If a monetary settlement is obtained, information about it will be
