UNL Extension Website Helps Businesses With Healthcare Law
(KTNC) - A website operated by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Service hopes to help business owners better understand their obligations under the federal healthcare law.
According to Burt County UNL Extension Educator Caroll Welte, the website breaks down the rules and regulations by business types and sizes, and the law considers agricultural operations the same as any other business operation.
Welte says many small business owners might falsely believe they are exempt if they have fewer than 50 employees, but she says the law requires any business that has offered health care benefits to provide coverage for 10 essential benefits.
The mandate that businesses offer health care coverage doesn't begin for another year, but Welte says they are coming.
She says the website isn't designed to answer all questions, but to help business owners better understand what they have to do under the law.
