I am semi-retired and currently paying $585 a month to continue health insurance through my former employer. I started a new job 1 1/2 years ago working part-time at 30+ hours a week through a large community college. That job provides me only vacation and sick leave benefits.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Will my new "employer" be required to change my status to full-time because of the health care law and provide me health insurance or at least access to their health insurance. I have not heard anything yet from the college. If they do, will my annual salary be what justifies the amount of the premium (or will I just become a full-time employee which right now gets free employee only health care through the community college)? My annual gross salary is approximately $38,000.
2. My current gross pension is $51,000 from my old employer. Does this unearned income change my status with my new employer as far as "W-2" income level? The pension is not reported as W-2 income.
3. How do subsidies look at my income? Do they look just at earned income or do they add the pension in as part of that?
Thanks for any clarification you can give me..
