Update Form 1095-C Data Using People Analytics Report Templates

Form 1095-C Data Updates with People Analytics Report Templates

Using the PPACA 1095-C People Analytics report templates, you can modify a subset or all of the Form 1095-C data for employees and nonemployees by each applicable large employer (ALE) member. This process requires ACA administrators to run a report template, update the data, and then import the modified data to the UKG Pro™ solution.

1095-C Report Template

To select a People Analytics report template, first determine if the data that must be modified affects an employee or a nonemployee.

  • Employee - refers to an individual who has or already had an employee record in the UKG Pro™ solution, which includes employees of any status (for example, Active, Terminated, Leave of Absence).
  • Nonemployee - refers to an individual who does not have a record in the UKG Pro™ solution, which may include non-employee directors, retirees, COBRA beneficiaries, and dependents. Non-employee data must be updated using one of the nonemployee report templates.

Based on the data that requires modification, select an employee report template (Parts II or III) or nonemployee report template (Parts I, II, or III) to run from the PPACA Reports folder: People Analytics (Business Intelligence) > Team Content > UltiPro BI Content > UltiPro BI for Core HR and Payroll > UltiPro Delivered Reports > PPACA Reports.

PPACA Data Import Report Templates

For a description of the People Analytics report templates available for Employees and Non-Employees, refer to the table.

Type Name Description
Employee PPACA 1095-C Part II - Employees in Multiple Companies Report Includes columns that are used in the Employee import for Part II - Offer and Coverage. Generates a listing of employees who either received multiple Forms 1095-C in the selected year under different ALEs, or who were active under more than one component company during the year.

This data can be used as a report or as a 1095-C import template. To use the report as an import template, save the report in CSV format and then upload the CSV file to the Import 1095 File page in the UKG Pro solution (UKG Pro > Administration > ACA Manager > Import 1095 File). The default download format for this report is Excel, with the following conditional highlighting:

  • Forms 1095-C that have been suppressed are highlighted in gray.
  • Forms 1095-C that may include codes with potential 4980H(a) penalty risks in certain months are highlighted in yellow.

Select and Run a 1095-C Report Template

Select and run a 1095-C report template to view Form 1095-C data. Save the report output to import it into the UKG Pro solution.

Navigation:People Analytics (Business Intelligence) > Team Content > UltiPro BI Content > UltiPro BI for Core HR and Payroll > UltiPro Delivered Reports > PPACA Reports

  1. From the PPACA Reports folder, select the template for the data that must be changed.
    If you cannot view the folder:
    • Verify that the current location of the path is Public Folders, which appears at the top of the page.
    • Select the arrow at the top of the page to display the next set of reports in the folder, as needed.
  2. Select at least one ALE name or select All.
  3. Select the tax reporting year.
  4. Select Yes to indicate you wish to include previously terminated employees.
  5. Select Yes or No to indicate whether the report should include employees that were not full-time for any month of the calendar year.
    • If Yes is selected, the report template provides all employees for the selected ALEs. This option enables you to import data for self-insured coverage, COBRA participants, and retirees.
    • If No is selected, the report template provides only the employees who were active for at least one day in the selected reporting year for the selected ALEs.
  6. Select the deduction/benefit group, employee type, employee status, and whether to include full time or part time to filter the list of employees.
  7. Select Run Report. By default, the report template downloads as a CSV file.
  8. Open the report template to verify employee information. Changes to employee information must be made in the UKG Pro™ solution. Complete required changes to the employee record as needed, and then run the report template again.

  9. Save the report.

Edit and Modify Form 1095-C Data using Excel

After you run the report template, a CSV formatted file is generated. The quickest way to open a CSV file is in Microsoft Excel. Excel must be set as the default program in order for CSV files to open automatically when you access the file.

When using Excel to make modifications to the data in the CSV file, it is recommended to:
  • Remove all employees who do not require data modifications by deleting those rows from the CSV file.
  • Leave the columns in the same order. Changing the order of the columns results in an error upon import.
  • Leave cells blank when you do not want data in the import template to modify data in the UKG Pro™ solution. Only cells which contain data are modified in the UKG Pro™ solution upon import.
  • Enter N/A in cells to replace the existing value in the UKG Pro™ solution with a blank value. This entry is useful in cases where an offer of coverage code is no longer required and must be removed.
  • When using Excel to modify data, use an apostrophe (‘) before Social Security Numbers that begin with a zero. For example, enter ‘000232145. Alternatively, format the SSN column as text in which case you do not need to add an apostrophe before the zero.
  1. After you run the People Analytics report template, open the CSV file in Excel.
  2. Isolate the employee rows that need to be modified.
  3. Modify the data for employees, as needed.
  4. Save the CSV file:
    • Select File > Save As.
    • Select the folder to save the file.
    • Select Save as Type as CSV (Comma Delimited).

Import Form 1095-C Data

You can complete a bulk import of Form 1095-C information to the UKG Pro solution using People Analytics PPACA report templates. Report templates provide you with a method to collect, track, and import offer of coverage information that is not stored in the UKG Pro™ solution for both employees and nonemployees. The templates are also used to adjust or replace information that has been manually entered or auto-populated on the Offer and Coverage page, as needed.
