Kaiser: Small Group Recertification Process Relaunching in May 2026
Kaiser Permanente announced they are relaunching their small group recertification process beginning with May 2026 renewal dates. This process helps confirm continued eligibility and supports a smoother renewal process.
More information can be found on the Kaiser Permanente Forms and Documents page under the Employer Recertification. Below is a copy of the information from the Employer Recertification section of that page:
Employer Recertification
Small business recertification is required annually to confirm that your business still meets the criteria of a small business as defined by the state of California and still qualifies for small business coverage with us.
Documents required for recertification
To ensure your recertification is processed quickly and accurately, please submit the following documents along with a copy of your current business license.
1. Current DE 9C: The DE 9C form is the quarterly wage and withholding report for California employers and is used to report wage and payroll tax withholding information for each employee.
Please note each employee’s health coverage status next to their name as shown in this Sample DE 9C.
2. Employer’s Confirmation of Workers’ Compensation
Complete this form, if requested, to confirm that you have workers’ compensation coverage for all eligible employees in your small business. If requested, this form will be provided by a Kaiser Permanente representative.
