Benefits declared on the Form 5500 main form (✓ = also has a Schedule A insurance contract; otherwise the benefit is funded out of plan assets or via a Schedule C TPA).

| Active participants | 95 | Currently employed and enrolled or eligible. |
| Total participants (= "Plan participants" tile) | 95 | Active + retired/separated + beneficiaries. No dependents. |

Why the numbers differ. Form 5500 line 6 counts employees + retirees + beneficiaries; no dependents. Schedule A persons-covered counts everyone enrolled, including spouses and children, so it usually exceeds line 6 by 30-60% on a working-age workforce. The medical row is normally the broadest single line because it has the highest take-up; dental/vision/life often dip below it. Stop-loss / reinsurance contracts sometimes report the carrier's full underwriting pool rather than this filer's headcount; the row is shown for transparency but shouldn't be read as "people in this plan."
The primary carrier changed from the prior filing. The plan is willing to move. Re-pitch on the next cycle.
Broker compensation exceeds 5% of premium. This is either a small-plan minimum fee or an inefficient broker structure open to a counter-bid.
Premium per covered life exceeds 2x the peer median for this NAICS and size cohort. The plan is either richly funded or stuck with a bad rate.
