• 1A. Qualifying Offer: Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to full-time employee with Employee Required Contribution equal to or less than 9.78% (as adjusted) of mainland single federal poverty line and at least minimum essential coverage offered to spouse and dependent(s).
Note. This code may be used to report for specific months for which a Qualifying Offer was made, even if the employee did not receive a Qualifying Offer for all 12 months of the calendar year. However, an ALE Member may not use the Alternative Furnishing Method for an employee who did not receive a Qualifying Offer for all 12 calendar months.
Note. The starred codes at the bottom of the list are new codes for 2020 and beyond.

• 1C. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee and at least minimum essential coverage offered to dependent(s) (not spouse).
• 1D. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee and at least minimum essential coverage offered to spouse (not dependent(s)). Do not use code 1D if the coverage for the spouse was offered conditionally. Instead use code 1J.
• 1E. Minimum essential coverage providing minimum value offered to employee and at least minimum essential coverage offered to dependent(s) and spouse. Do not use code 1E if the coverage for the spouse was offered conditionally. Instead use code 1K.
