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
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 2 insured contracts covering life, disability and stop-loss; the largest, with TRUSTMARK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, covers 508 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, or placed with a carrier that is not on this filing.
The only insured piece of the health benefit is stop-loss coverage, and the filing reports the plan paying its own claims. The stop-loss contract reports $1,143,778 in premium and $57,189 in commission. The rest of the premium and commission above is on the plan's other insured lines, and none of it is medical premium.
Reported premium across the insured contracts is $2,369,325, with $57,189 in disclosed broker commissions — about 2.4% of premium.
The most recent policy period ended in August, and the plan year ends August 31. Group contracts typically renew on that annual cycle.

Premium and claims on this contract
TRUSTMARK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, contract EL706. For the contract year on this filing, the carrier reported $1,068,923 in premium earned and $875,488 in claims incurred. Dividing one by the other gives 82%.
- TRUSTMARK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, contract EL706 reported $150,997 in retention.
Retention is what the carrier kept of the premium after claims, as reported: administration, commissions and other charges.
Only experience-rated contracts report these figures, so most filings leave them blank.
Covered = persons covered at policy year end, as filed on Schedule A for that policy — often certificates or one class, not the whole plan. Premium = the filing’s own premium/charges figure; “—” means not credibly reported.
