Massachusetts Health Insurance Responsibility Disclosure (HIRD)

It is almost time for the Massachusetts HIRD filing. Massachusetts law requires employers to file a HIRD form on an annual basis containing information about employer sponsored insurance.

HIRD filing requirements apply to all employers with 6 or more Massachusetts employees in any month during the past 12 months.  The filing is done through MassTaxConnect which will be available for MA HIRD filing beginning on Nov.15, 2023 through Dec.15, 2023.

How will ADP TotalSource assist with this filing?

ADP TotalSource will:

·       send communications regarding the HIRD filing to clients who are required to file; and

·       provide the necessary data to complete their HIRD Filing.  

This information will be available shortly before the MassTaxConnect system is open for filing. Please reach out to your dedicated HR Business Partner with any questions.

Important Reminders/Tips:

·       ADP TotalSource will not perform the HIRD filing. Clients will need to do their own filing.

·       A MassTaxConnect login is needed to complete the HIRD filing. If you do not have a login, you will need to create a log in.  

·       A separate login is needed for each FEIN.
