Assign the PPACA Administrator role type to a user role and enable web access rights to the File Transfers and PPACA features from the Reporting section to allow the assigned users access to employees' final, approved Forms 1095-C in PDF format.

  1. Assign the PPACA Administrator role type to a user role (Menu > System Configuration > Security > Role Administration > select existing role or select Add to create new role > Description/Role Types > select PPACA Administration role type).
  2. Enable web access rights to the PPACA feature from Reporting (Menu > System Configuration > Security > Role Administration > select role > Web Access Rights > Reporting > PPACA).
  3. Enable web access rights to the File Transfers feature from Reporting (Menu > System Configuration > Security > Role Administration > select role > Web Access Rights > Reporting > File Transfers).

    Careful consideration should be used when selecting users who will be assigned the PPACA Administrator role and the subsequent permissions. These individuals will have access to view confidential employee data, as reported on the Forms 1095-C.

Upon submission of your approval, it is registered in UKG Pro and an email is sent to confirm the print order. If you do not provide print approval by the cutoff date, you will not receive priority processing and run the risk of not having your forms shipped to meet the deadline. You can check the status of your print order by contacting your ACA Benefits Specialist.
