Evidence

For purposes of the employer shared responsibility provisions, an employee is a full-time employee for a calendar month if he or she averages at least 30 hours of service per week or has 130 hours of service in the month.

IRS guidance still uses the ACA's 30-hour full-time threshold as of April 25, 2026, indicating the repeal was not delivered.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Young materially pursued this promise by sponsoring H.R. 2575, the Save American Workers Act of 2014, to replace the ACA's 30-hour full-time threshold with 40 hours. The bill passed the House during his 2014 House term but stalled in the Senate and never became law. The underlying policy outcome was therefore not delivered, and the ACA employer mandate definition remained in place; IRS guidance still reflected the 30-hour standard as of April 25, 2026. Because he made a serious legislative effort but did not achieve enactment, this counts as failed delivery with effort credit.
