How do I add my Designated Governmental Entity (DGE)?

"A DGE is a person or persons that are part of or related to the Governmental Unit that is the ALE (Applicable Large Employer) Member that is appropriately designated for purposes of these reporting documents. In the case of a Governmental Unit that has delegated some or all of its reporting responsibilities to a DGE with respect to some or all of its employees, one Authoritative Transmittal must still be filed for the Governmental Unit reporting aggregate employer-level data for all employees of the Governmental Unit" (www.irs.gov).


Example: County is an ALE that includes ALE Members School District, Police District, and County General Office. School District designates the state to report on behalf of the teachers and reports for itself for its remaining full-time employees. In this case, either the School District or the state must file an Authoritative Transmittal reporting aggregate employer-level data for the School District.


Is your employer a Designated Governmental Entity (DGE)?

  • Yes, my employer is a DGE. You'll need to fill in the name, address, ID number, and contact information for person or entity that will function as the DGE.

  • No, my employer is NOT a DGE. You can skip the section titled Designated Government Entity on the ACA Organization form.
