Prepare ACA Recipient Data for EIB Upload

Prepare ACA Recipient Data for EIB Upload

Import recipient data and access the
Create ACA 1095-C/1094-C Data
task.
Prepare 1095-C recipient data in an EIB spreadsheet to launch an EIB upload.
  1. Access the
    View 1095-C Form Recipient Data
    report and export the results to an Excel file.
  2. Copy the exported data into the
    Import 1095-C Form Recipients Data
    EIB spreadsheet template and modify.
    1. Start at the cell labeled
      Employee
      .
    2. Navigate to the cell labeled
      Row ID
      in the
      Line 17 Covered Individuals
      section (column BF). Select all the data to the end of the spreadsheet, and paste it 1 column to the right (column BG).
    3. Enter a numeric value in every row of the
      Header Key
      column to associate the employee or dependent with the correct Applicable Large Employer (ALE). The
      Header Key
      must match the
      Header Key
      in section 1 of the template.
      Examples:
      • Enter 1 in every row of the
        Header Key
        column if you have only 1 ALE.
      • Enter 1 in all rows for ALE 1 and 2 in all rows for ALE 2 if you have 2 ALEs.
    4. For each recipient you add to the spreadsheet, enter a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
      Data exported from the
      View 1095-C Form Recipient Data
      report contains masked digits for the SSN or ITIN for security purposes.
      Don't correct SSNs or ITINs that you export to the spreadsheet from Workday. Correct them in Workday before running the
      View 1095-C Form Recipient Data
      report. This action keeps the SSNs updated at the source and prevents future discrepancies.
    5. In the
      Line Key
      column, enter a unique value for each employee.
      Start with 1 and increment each row by 1.
      Each employee has 1 row for them self and 1 or more rows for each of their dependents. Each dependent must have the same value for
      Line Key
      as the employee. Example:
      Header Key
      Line Key
      Employee
      1
      1
      Emp_0001
      1

      2
      Emp_0002

      3
      1
      3
      1
      4
      Emp_0004
    6. Enter a unique
      Row ID
      for each covered individual.
      Start at 1 for the employee and increment by 1 for each dependent.
      During the import, Workday generates and assigns a reference ID to each covered individual.
    7. Enter a 2-digit numerical value for the month In the
      Plan Start Month
      column.
      Starting in Tax Year 2020, the IRS requires this value, which Workday uses for each employee.
      You can update individual employee values in the EIB, but not from the Create ACA 1095-C Company Configuration task.
    8. (Optional) Enter a whole number from 1-120 in the
      Employee's Age on January 1
      field. Required if you’ve used any of the codes for Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Accounts (ICHRA).
    9. Line 14: Enter these ICHRA codes, as needed.
      • 1L
      • 1M
      • 1N
      • 1O
      • 1P
      • 1Q
    10. Enter the employee's zip code in all applicable month columns for
      Line 17
      , if you’ve used any of the codes for individual coverage HRAs.
