To apply benefits to employees, use the HR Benefits/Accruals via Personnel window or the HR Benefits/Accruals via Payroll window.
This window has two versions, a personnel version and a payroll version.

Affordable Care
This group box appears only on the Benefits Control with Payroll Detail window.
· Applicable Insurance Benefit
Select if this benefit qualifies as a medical insurance benefit that applies towards the Affordable Care Act (ACA). If selected, this benefit will be included with the Form 1095-C report.
· Designate as lowest cost monthly premium?
Your school may have several similar health benefits. Select the checkbox if this benefit offers the lowest monthly premium cost compared to other similar benefits.
· Employee Share of Lowest Cost Monthly Premium
If this benefit offers the lowest monthly premium cost compared to other similar benefits, enter the monthly premium amount the employee pays for coverage if they have this benefit. If they choose to enroll in a more expensive coverage such as family coverage where the premium is higher, the amount used to populate Box 15 when you generate 1095-C forms will be the amount from the benefit flagged as the lowest cost benefit.
If an employee is
enrolled in a Single plan benefit and that benefit is flagged
as the lowest cost monthly premium benefit, the Employee
Share of Lowest Cost Monthly Premium should be entered.
If the employee is responsible for $100 per month, enter $100
in the Employee Share of Lowest
Cost Monthly Premium column. If the employee???s share of
the plan premium is an annual amount, take that annual amount
and divide it by 12 to come up with the Employee
Share of Lowest Cost Monthly Premium. If that employee
has an Offer of Coverage code of 1B, 1C, 1D or 1E in the "All
12 Months" or any calendar month during the year being processed
by the Generate 1095-C???s process, $100 would be entered in the
corresponding Box 15 amount.
If an employee chooses to enroll in a more expensive coverage plan,
such as family coverage, their monthly premiums that they pay
will be higher than the lowest cost premium amount; however, all
that can be reported on the 1095-C form is the Employee
Share of Lowest Cost Monthly Premium amount that is entered
for the lowest cost Affordable Care Act (ACA) benefit.
This amount can be $0 since some employers will pay the employee???s insurance premiums. In this case, $0.00 would be entered into Box 15 on the 1095-C.
