The Baker Administration today released draft regulations for the new employer health assessment designed to close a budget shortfall in the state’s MassHealth program.
The regulations, published by the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA), explain details of how the new Employer Medical Assistance Contribution (EMAC) supplement will be administered. The EMAC supplement is a new wage tax, levied on employers who have certain workers enrolled in either the MassHealth program or subsidized Health Connector coverage.
The draft regulationsare available for public review and response. The Department will hold five listening sessions, across the state, to allow employers and interested parties to provide in-person feedback:
A fifth session will be scheduled on Cape Cod.
Questions and suggestions may also be shared with the Department electronically.
