Important Information for Current and Former Employees
Recent changes to federal law under the Employer Reporting Improvement Act have updated how employers are required to distribute Form 1095-C (Employer-Provided Health Insurance Offer and Coverage).
What This Means for You
-
Our organization will continue to prepare and file Forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the Internal Revenue Service as required.
-
Employers are no longer required to automatically distribute Form 1095-C unless a copy is requested.
-
Current and former employees may request a copy of their Form 1095-C at any time, and one will be provided promptly.
How to Request Your Form
If you would like a copy of your Form 1095-C, you may request one at any time by contacting either:
Cindy Kumpe
or Chad Brewer
Requested forms will be provided within 30 days of the request.
Additional Information
Form 1095-C is not required to file your individual income tax return, but it may be helpful for your personal records.

Metropolitan EMS is transitioning into winter weather operations, known internally as Purple Status, in advance of an approaching winter storm expected to impact the Little Rock metro area and surrounding communities.
Preparations began earlier this week as forecasts indicated the potential for snow, ice, and hazardous travel conditions. MEMS will move to Purple Status on Friday afternoon as the winter weather moves closer to the metro.
Multiple departments across the organization are working behind the scenes to ensure uninterrupted emergency medical response throughout the weather event.
Fleet Maintenance teams are completing preventative vehicle maintenance and equipping ambulances with studded tires to improve traction on icy roadways. Supply Technicians are ensuring all ambulances and stations are fully stocked with medical supplies and essential equipment. The Training Division is coordinating meal support to sustain crews who may remain on duty for extended periods.
MEMS’ Special Operations Response Team (SORT) has confirmed all specialized equipment is fueled, packed, and ready to assist field crews as needed. Additionally, Disaster Communications personnel are preparing auxiliary radio equipment, including portable repeaters, to maintain communication capabilities should ice impact AWIN or UHF radio systems.
MEMS urges the public to avoid unnecessary travel once winter weather begins. Residents should remain off roadways unless travel is absolutely necessary, allowing Arkansas Department of Transportation, city, and county crews time to clear and treat roads.
MEMS crews will remain fully operational and ready to respond to emergencies throughout the storm.
The MEMS team is prepared, there’s sNOw need to worry.

This morning, we started the process of returning to normal operations. For the past few days, MEMS has been operating under winter weather protocols, also known as Purple Status. Although conditions were more favorable than forecasted, crew members, dispatchers, supply techs, maintenance, custodial, and office personnel worked day and night; Many set up camp inside Station 1 to ensure the day-to-day operations continued and crews were well fed during the unpredictable weather.
Thank you to all our dedicated team members who have worked tirelessly, giving up time with family and more this week during Purple Status.
