Wondering what the full cost of your health insurance coverage is? The value of your health insurance was reported in box 12 of the W-2 form with the code ‘DD’. This amount includes both your cost and the State of Illinois cost for your coverage. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires employers to report the value of health insurance coverage on employees’ W-2 forms beginning in 2013. The purpose of reporting the value of health coverage, as stated by the IRS, is to provide employees useful and comparable consumer information on the cost of health care coverage. This amount is not taxable and does not include the value of dental or life coverage.
You may print your W-2 from NESSIE under the Compensation tab if you consented to receive it electronically.
