1095C Requests

Each year, since 2015, the Town of Wellesley has provided information to all benefit eligible employees about the health care coverage that was offered to them, as well as a summary of all covered individuals and coverage dates for employees that have chosen to enroll in a Town of Wellesley sponsored health plan. This statement, called a 1095-C, must also be provided to the IRS.  The information on the 1095-C, helps the IRS to determine if the coverage offered by the Town was affordable, and to determine potential eligibility for a premium tax credit.   

Due to the signing of the Paperwork Burden Reduction act and The Employer Reporting Improvement act at the end of December 2024, employers are no longer required to automatically provide a 1095-C to all benefit eligible employees. The act allows employers to provide forms to employees only upon the request of the individual employee.  Information regarding coverage offered as well as information about covered individuals, and their dates of coverage, must continue to be submitted to the IRS, by the town.

If you would like a copy of your 2024 1095-C, please click here to electronically sign, and submit the Employee Request form, to receive a 1095-C either via email or as a paper copy. Active benefit eligible employees may consent to receive their 1095-C statement electronically.

If you consent to receive the 1095-C electronically, the statement will be sent to the email address where you receive your payroll notifications. It may be opened in the same manner and with the same credentials, that you open your weekly or bi-weekly pay notification as well as your W-2.

Please note that the 1095-C is not required to file your federal taxes, but that the 1099-HC form issued by your health insurance carrier (Blue Cross or Harvard Pilgrim) is required to file your Massachusetts taxes. If you have not yet received your 2024 1099-HC, please request it from your health insurance carrier.

If you have any questions or difficulty submitting your request form, please email us at benefits@wellesleyma.gov or call our office at (781) 431-1019 X 2244
