How this plan is funded
Self-funded as reported
The filing reports benefits paid from the plan's own money, and no medical insurance contract on Schedule A.
A stop-loss policy appears on a Form 5500 only when the plan itself is the beneficiary, or the premiums are paid from plan money. Many employers buy stop-loss and never report it here. So a plan with no stop-loss on its filing may still have it.
Benefits declared on this filing
4 contracts on this filing do not say which benefits they cover, so a line above may be insured by one of them.
Also declared: supplemental unemployment.
Declared benefits are the plan’s own line 8b codes on Form 5500. “Not on Schedule A” means no insured contract for that line appears on this filing. That usually means the benefit is self-funded, or it sits under a different plan number.
Persons covered is the count the carrier filed for that policy at the end of its policy year, and it can include dependents. Participants is the plan's own count at the start of its plan year. The two count different people, so a covered figure can be larger.
Plan brief
Schedule A lists 6 insured contracts covering life and disability; the largest, with AMALGAMATED LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, covers 6,242 people.
The filing declares life, disability, health, dental and vision. Health, dental and vision appear with no insured contract on Schedule A. That coverage may be self-funded, placed with a carrier that is not on this filing, or written on one of the 4 contracts here that do not say what they cover.
Reported premium across the insured contracts is $4,716,614, with $298 in disclosed broker commissions — about 0% of premium.
The most recent policy period ended in December, and the plan year ends December 31. Group contracts typically renew on that annual cycle.
TPG GROUP INC is the broker of record on 1 of the 6 contracts; the rest name a different broker or none.
