The Supreme Court will hear King v. Burwell

The Supreme Court will hear King v. Burwell. At stake in this case is whether federally facilitated exchanges can grant subsidies to help individuals afford premiums. If the Supreme Court denies the federal exchanges the ability to grant subsidies, it would be a major blow to the PPACA, effectively eliminating certain penalties under the employment mandate. The decision is expected to come down summer of 2015. While this is a potentially significant case, employers should continue compliance efforts in the meantime as penalties become effective January 1, 2015.
