DOL Advisory Opinion Concludes That Farm Bureau Federation Health Plan Would Be a Single ERISA Plan and a MEWA (PDF)
Thomson Reuters / EBIA 
[Guidance Overview] May 14, 2026 "Status as a single ERISA plan is significant for several reasons. If a MEWA is not an ERISA plan, each participating employer is treated as maintaining a separate plan potentially subject to ERISA compliance obligations, such as furnishing summary plan descriptions and filing Form 5500s, rather than those requirements applying at the MEWA level. Also, due to ERISA preemption, a MEWA that is an ERISA plan is somewhat less encumbered by state regulation than one that is not an ERISA plan." [Advisory Opinion 2026-01A] MORE >> |
