Cornell University SHP partners with Experian Employer Services to provide your 1095-B form.
New for the 2024 tax year, CUSHP members can directly access to their annual 1095-B form.
For the most flexibility, including earliest access to the form and being able to download or print it any time you need it (even after the current tax year), opt-in to electronic notification.
What if I miss the electronic notification deadline?
If you do not consent to electronic delivery by February 20, 2025, you will receive a mailed paper form for the 2024 tax year to the local address on file with Cornell University in Student Essentials or Weill Cornell Medicine's Learn Portal.
For the 2024 tax year, paper forms will be mailed on March 3, 2025, via USPS. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.
If you opt-in to electronic notification by December 31st, you will be able to receive next year's 1095-B form electronically.
What if I need a 1095-B form for my dependents?
Any student with spouse and or child coverage during the plan year, will receive forms for those persons along with the student form.
Do I need a 1095-B form?
It depends.
In general, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides some guidance on healthcare information forms. While it is not necessary to wait for your 1095-B form to file your federal income tax return, you may need the form to file your state tax return for state insurance responsibility provisions. Please check with a tax professional or state insurance department for more information.
For International Students:
We understand that international students and their families who are not receiving fellowship payments or wages will not be eligible to apply for an SSN/ITIN and therefore cannot provide a tax identification number to the university. You can still receive this form even if you do not have an SSN/ITIN.
- Students do not need to attach or submit their 1095-B form when filing federal tax returns to the IRS.
- CUSHP is required to submit this information separately on your behalf.
- If you are filing state taxes, you may need the 1095-B form for filing your state tax return.
What if I don't do anything or don't want a form?
In compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Cornell University Student Health Plan (CUSHP) submits completed 1095-B forms to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of all individuals who were enrolled in SHP during that calendar year. This submission verifies that SHP members had insurance that provides minimum essential coverage.
CUSHP is required to provide you with this document because we use your taxpayer identification number when we submit the completed 1095-B form.
What information is used to create a 1095-B form?
CUSHP reports to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the taxpayer identification number, either a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Tax ID Number (ITIN), and the months in which a member had SHP insurance during a calendar year to create the 1095-B form.
