Limited Time Offer for Small Business Coverage

Offering health benefits is a key part of attracting and retaining a dynamic workforce. DC Health Link is here to help DC small businesses understand all their options. If offering a health plan is a bit too expensive for your business right now, you’ve still got options.

Limited Time Offer for DC Small Businesses

To make sure every DC business can cover its employees, we offer special flexibility for employers starting coverage on January 1st. Employers offering coverage starting January 1st do not have to meet the following standard eligibility requirements:

Fifty percent (50%) minimum employer contribution toward employee premiums, and
Minimum participation by two-thirds of eligible employees.

For example, you can still offer a plan if you can’t contribute towards the cost of coverage. You can also offer a plan if only 2 of your 7 employees who don’t have other qualifying coverage want to enroll. This reduces your employer cost of offering a health plan, but still makes a valuable benefit available to your employees.

Employers starting their plans on January 1 still need to meet, including having at least one (1) non-owner enroll in coverage.
