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
Health: UNUM LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA covers 422 of 115,178 participants (0.4%) on Schedule A.
9 contracts on this filing do not say which benefits they cover, so a line above may be insured by one of them.
Also declared: prepaid legal, death benefits, 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.
Where a line has more than one insured contract, the carrier and the covered figure are the largest contract's by premium. The contracts are not added up: a pharmacy carve-out and the medical carrier beside it cover the same people.
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 health, life, disability, dental and vision. 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 9 contracts here that do not say what they cover.
Reported premium across the insured contracts is $101,467,066, with $7,039,414 in disclosed broker commissions — about 6.9% 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.
