Covered California SHOP Exchange: What this means for employers

In California small businesses that are struggling to provide health care coverage for their employees now have hope. The Covered California SHOP (Small Business Health Options Program) Exchange will provide a greater selection of group health insurance coverage, previously only offered to businesses with larger numbers of employees. Small business owners who are interested in joining the Covered California SHOP Exchange can do so just as long as they have less than 50 employees, for the time being.

As part of this revolutionary program, small businesses with fewer than 25 employees, as well as an annual earning that is less than $50,000, can earn a 50 percent federal tax credit for any health care coverage that is purchased via SHOP. To date 375,000 small business employers in the state of California are eligible for this small business tax credit.

Here at Bernardini & Donovan Insurance Services we offer additional information regarding the Covered California SHOP Exchange. If you would like assistance in determining if you are eligible or how to be a part of the SHOP program, contact the insurance professionals at Bernardini & Donovan Insurance Services, located in Redlands, CA today.
