The Baker Administration filed a budget proposal today that, as expected, would impose a $2,000-per-employee tax on some employers to close a deficit in MassHealth. AIM opposes the assessment as unfairly burdening employers for a problem they did not create.
Which employers will be subject to the assessment? Here is an infographic that summarizes the administration proposal. AIM is developing a calculator that will allow employers to determine exactly what their costs will be under the new assessment.
If you have any feedback or questions about this proposal, please contact Katie Holahan at keh@aimnet.org or 617.262.1180.
