Use the Safe Harbor Relief Groups page (ACA_SAFE_HARBOR_GP) to group employees who qualify under each of the four Safe Harbor Codes: 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H. The Safe Harbor Relief Groups component enables the employer to identify the employee population that belongs to each of the codes on a monthly basis. Some employees are qualified to be part of one or more of these Safe Harbor Relief Groups.
Add a new entry for each month of a calendar year for which each of the Safe Harbor Codes is valid for the ALE.
