Rejection Message:

If any data element in Form 1095C, 'MonthlyOfferCoverage' (Jan through Dec) has a value of "1B", or "1C", or "1D" or "1E", then the corresponding data element in 'MonthlyShareOfLowestCostMonthlyPrem' (January through December) or 'AnnualShareLowestCostMonthlyPrem' must have a value greater than or equal to zero
