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).
The plan reports several different headcounts depending on which form you read. Each one measures a different slice of the population.
| Active participants | 12,274 | Currently employed and enrolled or eligible. |
| Retired/separated still receiving benefits | 35 | Continuation coverage (COBRA, retiree health). |
| Retired/separated still eligible | 1,604 | Vested but not currently using benefits. |
| Beneficiaries receiving benefits | 57 | Spouses or dependents with eligibility independent of the participant. |
| Total participants (= "Plan participants" tile) | 13,970 | Active + retired/separated + beneficiaries. No dependents. |
No Schedule A insurance contracts on this filing — typical of fully self-funded plans, where the only headcount is the Form 5500 number above.
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."
Self-funded plan with no stop-loss carrier attached. Catastrophic-risk exposure; stop-loss specialist sales target.
