Form 1095-B (For those covered under the United HealthCare PPO only) – The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most Americans to maintain minimum essential coverage. Because the individual shared responsibility payment is zero in 2020, employees will not need the information on Form 1095-B to compute their federal tax liability or file an income tax return with the IRS. Nonetheless, FPWC is required to furnish Form 1095-B to individuals covered under the UHC PPO upon request. Instead of automatically receiving this form as you have in years past, employees must request the form be provided to them by either:

- Emailing Kim O’Malley, Human Resources Manager at komalley@winnebagoforest.org;
- Calling FPWC Headquarters (815) 877-6100;
- Visiting Headquarters in person at 5500 Northrock Drive, Rockford, IL 61103.
- Employees will be furnished a 2020 Form 1095-B within thirty (30) days of your request being received. Contact Kim in HR with any questions.
