DOL EBSA Office of Policy and Research Publishes Summit Report

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) published a substantial Summit report this week, "Analysis of Form M-1 Data for Filing Years 2010-2013."

The report summarizes our team's analysis methods and results in support of helping EBSA understand the population of Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWAs) and Certain Entities Claiming Exception (ECEs) that file the Form M-1.

Summit's analysis focused on how key attributes of the Form M-1 filing population have changed over time, attributes of the subpopulation that also files the Form 5500, and information regarding insurance providers who serve MEWAs and ECEs. The report is a major deliverable in our ongoing statistical support engagement with OPR.

The paper can be found in full on the OPR website.
