CORRECTION RECORDS

  • In some situationsIn some situations, an update to MEDS record, not in the IN95 (change in MEC eligibility, citizenship status, or SSN) results in a correction to the Form 1095-B record. If a subsequent update in MEDS is made while the Form 1095-B correction is pending, the first correction record will be cancelled. The original correction record will display as cancelled and the new correction record will display as pending (blank PROCESS DATE) until the record is sent for processing, at which time the PROCESS DATE will be updated. The example below illustrates the results in the IN9S screen.


  • If a MEDS record with a previously processed original Form 1095-B has a correction to MEC coverage and there is an outstanding T (Tax filer) reprint record, the correction record cancels the outstanding T reprint process. Click herehere to view an example that illustrates the results in the IN9S screen.


  • If a MEDS record with an original Form 1095-B pending for processing has a correction to MEC coverage while there is an outstanding O (Original) reprint record, the correction record cancels the outstanding "O" reprint process. Click herehere to view an example that illustrates the results in the IN9S screen.
