How this plan is funded
Self-funded as reported
The filing reports a stop-loss contract and no medical premium, which is what a plan that pays its own claims reports.
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
Also declared: other welfare.
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.
