Administrators of multiple employer welfare arrangements (MEWAs), including association health plans (AHPs), that offer medical benefits must electronically file the Form M-1 with the Department of Labor (DOL) annually and in connection with certain events.
The Form M-1 is designed to protect consumers against MEWA fraud. It collects information about the MEWA’s compliance with certain federal health coverage requirements. It also collects information about individuals and entities that are involved with the MEWA’s operations and services.
The annual Form M-1 must be filed no later than March 1 following the calendar year for which a filing is required. A one-time, 60-day extension of time to file will automatically be granted by the DOL if requested by the MEWA administrator. This extension must be requested no later than the normal due date for the Form M-1.
This Compliance Overview summarizes the Form M-1 filing requirement for MEWAs.
