Safer, easier health plans from professional employers
The law treats a single professional employer organization’s health plan as one employer plan and exempts it from MEWA registration. For the Small Employer Health Insurance law, the PEO is the employer of its covered workers, and insurers must accept eligible workers and beneficiaries. Any PEO health plan must be fully insured or meet strict self-funded safeguards. Self-funded plans must use a Nebraska-licensed TPA, keep all plan money in an ERISA §403 trust as of January 1, 2025, maintain actuarial reserves, and carry aggregate stop-loss above 125% of expected claims with 30 days’ termination notice, naming the PEO as an insured. Workers must be told when a plan is self-funded. Plans must file a report within 90 days after the plan year ends. The Department can hold a hearing on 30 days’ notice, order fixes within 30 days, and revoke a PEO’s registration for noncompliance.
