History

Act 191 of the 2006 Legislative Session requires the Vermont Department of Labor to collect Employer’s Health Care Contribution Fund.  This process will be done in conjunction with the current Unemployment Insurance quarterly reporting of wages and UI taxes.  Act 70 of the 2007 Legislative Session contained specific definitions of "seasonal" and "part time", which if  met, can be excluded from the Health Care reporting.  Both of these acts have become Chapter 25, Section 2001-2003, of Title 21.

Everything you need to know about health care reporting is included in the publication titled “A Guide to Health Care Reporting", which is accessible under the “Health Care Links” in the right hand pane of this page.  Additionally, many have said the FAQs, Covered-Uncovered Tree, and HC Calculating Examples are also helpful tools in understanding this reporting.  The reporting of Health Care “adjusted” FTE and Health Care Contributions is required for and subsequent to the second quarter of 2007.

Rules of this reporting are provided in the right hand side of this page.
