2023 | 1095 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Are you an ALE? If you averaged 50 or more full-time equivalent employees in 2022, then you will be required to file 1095-B forms for employees eligible for medical coverage in 2022.

If your medical benefits are self-funded then regardless of the number of employees, you will be required to file 1095-C forms for employees eligible for medical coverage in 2022.

Employee Navigator offers a simply solution to these reporting requirements and there is no fee except to Nelco, the third party electronic filer. It is simple, we can do much of the heavy lifting for you, and very affordable.

Check with your payroll provider to see if they automatically take care of this for you, but if they don't or they require a great deal of work on your part, then reach out to us for assistance.

Remember, the deadline for filing is 3/31/2023, but the sooner you file, the less expensive it is!

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I HAVE FOUND MYSELF ASKING THE FOLLOWING QUESTION MORE THAN EVER BEFORE

Is customer service dead?

Think about the purchases you make today. How easy is it to get help when the product or service you purchase breaks down?

Phone support? Good luck.

A timely email response? Yeah, no.

Nowadays you have to jump on a website and text a chatbot just to get a question answered. You’re not even sure if you’re communicating with a human.

When someone goes above and beyond to help you resolve your problem you’re shocked because it seems few and far between these days.

At Olympic Crest Insurance, we take pride in the customer service we bring to our clients, and
we are grateful when they take notice.

We recently received these kind words from Mollelta at Bloomfield Construction:

"The level of service we have received from Olympic Crest Insurance has far surpassed my expectations.

Nancy and her team are very responsive to all our questions and they have made navigating compliance regulations not so intimidating."

HERE'S MY ADVICE TO YOU:

TIP #1

Good customer service still exists. Demand better service or find it somewhere else.

TIP #2

You deserve to have your questions answered and problems resolved in a timely manner.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

PECAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Appetizer for your next holiday gathering!

INGREDIENTS

1lb mushrooms (approx 25 large)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot minced (approx 1/4 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup parsley, minced
4 oz. goat cheese
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs (or GF bread crumbs)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

CANDIED PECANS FOR TOPPING

25 pecan halves
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp olive oil (or butter)
pinch of slat

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove stems and set caps aside. Chop stems extremely fine, discarding tough end of stems.
Heat butter over medium heat in small skillet. Add shallots, pecans, chopped mushrooms and garlic. Cook, stirring until everything has softened, about 5 minutes.
Add warm ingredients to mixing bowl and stir in goat cheese, parsley, bread crumbs, salt & pepper. Mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. Set aside.
Spread out mushroom caps on large baking sheet. Brush both inside and outside with melted butter or olive oil and fill with 1 tbsp of filling. Place on center rack and bake about 20 minutes or until filling is bubbly.
While mushrooms are cooking, heat honey & olive oil in medium sized skillet over low heat. Add in pecan halves and stir until they are completely coated. Continue cooking over medium-low heat until they have browned slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Spread pecans onto a piece of parchment to cool.
Once mushrooms are cooked, top with candied pecans and serve!
