Affordable Care Act Transitional Reinsurance Program Class Action

If you were required to pay a Transitional Reinsurance Contribution under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the 2014 benefit year, you may be entitled to opt-in to join a lawsuit.

This lawsuit affects all self-administered, self-insured employee health and welfare benefit plans that are or were subject to the assessment and collection of the Transitional Reinsurance Program (“TRP”) contribution under Section 1341 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) for benefit year 2014. Excluded from the lawsuit are the U.S. Government (“Defendant” or “Government”), as well as its agents, officials, and families; any judicial officer assigned to this case; any self-insured entities that utilized a third-party administrator for any portion of their operations during benefit year 2014; and any self-administered, self-insured employee health and welfare benefit plans that received a full refund of the TRP contribution paid to the Government for benefit year 2014.

THIS PARTICULAR CLASS ACTION IS DIFFERENT FROM MANY OTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE IF YOU DO NOTHING, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE LAWSUIT AS A CLASS MEMBER.
