HB 1406 -- Public Assistance Beneficiary Employer Disclosure Act

Sponsor:  Zweifel

This bill establishes the Public Assistance Beneficiary Employer
Disclosure Act which requires applicants for health care benefits
under public assistance to identify their employers.  If an
applicant is not employed, the individual must identify the
employer of any adult who is responsible for providing his or her
support.

The Department of Social Services must submit an annual report to
the Governor and General Assembly within 30 days of the end of
each calendar year, beginning with 2007.  The report must provide
information on each employer who has more than 50 employees with
at least 25 of them on public assistance.  For each employer, the
report must identify the employer's name and address; number of
public assistance program beneficiaries; number of beneficiaries
who are spouses or dependents of employees; whether the employer
offers health insurance benefits and, if offered, the level of
premium subsidies; whether the employer receives health insurance
benefits through the company; and the state's cost of providing
public assistance benefits for the employer's employees and
enrolled dependents.
