ATTENTION SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
It’s that time of year again when people start doing their holiday shopping. The world of insurance is no different.
In the world of health insurance, many people know that the better plans with better benefits and less restrictions are group plans purchased at work. But the problem with group plans is that, if implemented, the employer must meet participation and funding requirements. For most group plans, the employer must have at least 75% participation from all full-time employees who are not already covered by another plan and the employer must pay for at least 50% of the premium for the lowest level plan offered to employees.
These two requirements, participation and funding, is what makes it difficult for employers to start a group plan. However, during the month of November we have at least one carrier who is waiving these normal underwriting requirements, as long as their paperwork is submitted by December 15. Coverage would become effective either January 1 or January 15, at the employer’s choice.
This means that any small employer can now offer coverage to all of there full time employees and not worry as to how many want the coverage or about having to pay for half of it. Employers can fund the plan at whatever level they want, but there is no requirement to do so.
