IRS Form 1095-C for 2025 Tax Year

As part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), employers must provide IRS Form 1095-C to employees who were offered or enrolled in employer-sponsored health insurance in 2025. The University will make the 2025 Form 1095-C available electronically in UNI Works before the March 2, 2026 deadline.

Form 1095-C includes confidential information about employees eligible for UNI health insurance in 2025 and, when applicable, enrolled dependents. To reduce mailing errors and protect your information, please log in to UNI Works and select the “Receive electronic copy of 1095-C” option. You can follow the 1095-C Form Job Aid for guidance.

Forms will appear in the Benefits and Pay App once they are ready. Human Resource Services will notify campus by email when they become available.

You do not need Form 1095-C to file your 2025 tax return, though you should keep it with your tax records. UNI will report your 2025 health insurance coverage directly to the IRS. For more information, visit the HRS supporting webpage.
 

The Holidays & Your EAP: Support When You Need It Most

The holiday season is joyful - but let’s be honest, it can also be a lot. Between coordinating gatherings, finding the perfect gifts, sticking to a budget, and navigating countless temptations at every meal, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Add all of that to your everyday responsibilities, and the pressure can really stack up.

That’s why now is the perfect time to take advantage of your Employee Assistance Program (EAP). If you haven’t explored it yet, you may be surprised by everything it offers. In addition to free counseling sessions, your EAP provides no-cost financial guidance, a resource that can be especially valuable during this spend-heavy time of year.

Want a quick, helpful overview? Check out this short video that highlights all the free benefits available through Employee & Family Resources (EFR).

And just in time for the season, EFR has released their 2025 Holiday Well-Being Handbook—a practical, supportive guide to help you move through the holidays with confidence and calm.

You don’t have to take on the holidays alone. Reach out, get support, and give yourself the gift of a little more peace this year.

Virtual Healthcare Services

UnityPoint and MercyOne hospitals and clinics offer online platforms that let patients communicate with their care teams virtually. These systems also allow you to request prescription refills, view test results, and read provider notes. Doctor on Demand, UNI’s virtual visit option, provides 24/7 care for common symptoms. Using these services can help reduce exposure and illness during cold and flu season.
 

Grief During the Holidays 

The holidays are stressful on everyone, but even more so if you are grieving the loss of a loved one. Whether it is your first year, or it’s been many years without a loved one, grief is not something you get over, it is with you for the rest of your life. Cedar Valley Hospice offers free grief support to those in the community. Cedar Valley Hospice provides a list of ways to help yourself get through the holiday season: 

• View the holidays in perspective
• Do not overwhelm yourself
• Do what feels right to you
• Be aware of “shoulds”
• Don’t give into holiday pressure
• Embrace memories and have comfort in them
• Keep your holiday plans flexible
• Grieve and still be present for the holidays
• Honor your loved one
