Dear Student Employee:

You are receiving this e-mail because you have been identified as a student employee of Eastern Illinois University. This notice and attachment provides important information about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

If you or your dependent family members do not maintain health insurance coverage, you may be impacted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) which requires that nearly all individuals with income ranges above the tax-filing threshold secure health insurance coverage by January 1, 2014. Those who are not covered under a health care plan and who fail to enroll in a health care plan by January 1, 2014 will be subject to penalties when filing their tax returns.

The following link will provide you with the required notice of information you should be aware of: http://www.eiu.edu/humanres/benefits/marketplacestu.php . Please read the information carefully to determine if you will need to take action in the near future.

While contact information appears in the notice, below you will find some additional helpful links that should assist you in learning more about the PPACA.
