Understanding the ACA Information Returns Workbench

ACA Information Returns Workbench (P08210WB) is a central location where you can set up parameters and versions and run various processes for AIR reporting. The workbench simplifies the process of working with AIR reporting and its associated information.

Perform the following procedures:

  • Create the 1095-C Offer and Coverage workfile.

  • Create the 1095-C Covered Individuals file (if you have self-insured plans).

  • Print Form 1095-C for recipients.

  • Reset Form 1095-C workfiles (if necessary).

  • Run the 1094-C Employee Counts

  • Review and edit 1095-C workfile data records by using the 1095-C Offer and Coverage Revisions (P08119).

    See Working with AIR Year-End Workfiles Information.

  • Track the status of processes related to producing Health Coverage Information Returns. Manage processes and their status, including running preliminary reports, submitting workfile build processes, printing forms, and resetting any status for reprocessing.
