Which of the following would not end an employer's Georgia Access SHOP coverage eligibility?

Growing to 60 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employees would not end an employer's Georgia Access SHOP coverage eligibility because the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) is specifically designed for small businesses with 1 to 50 employees. In fact, employers within this size range, including those that grow from fewer than 50 FTEs up to 60, may need to transition to a different health insurance option, but they are still eligible for SHOP coverage as long as they remain within the defined small business size. Therefore, this growth does not disqualify them from continued coverage under SHOP during the transition period.

In contrast, relocation of the primary office, termination of offers of coverage, or failure to file taxes could potentially disqualify an employer from SHOP coverage eligibility. Relocation may trigger changes in the business structure or compliance with state regulations that may affect eligibility. Termination of offers of coverage directly impacts the business's commitment to providing health insurance, a core requirement for maintaining participation in SHOP. Additionally, failure to file taxes could be indicative of non-compliance with financial regulations, which may impact the eligibility to offer group coverage under SHOP provisions.
