How this plan is funded
Funding not settled by the filing
The filing does not report enough to settle how this plan pays for benefits.
Benefits declared on this filing
One contract on this filing does not say which benefits it covers, so a line above may be insured by it.
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
The filing declares life. Life appears 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 the contract here that does not say what it covers.

The most recent policy period ended in February, and the plan year ends February 28. Group contracts typically renew on that annual cycle.
