Impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Retirees in the Hiring Hall
Due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), active employees cannot be covered by PG&E-sponsored retiree medical benefits. Effective January of 2015, Hiring Hall employees will no longer be allowed to retain PG&E-sponsored retiree medical coverage.
PG&E is taking several actions to get in compliance with the ACA requirements by January 1, 2015.
