Under the policy, which scenario would require notifying the Manager?

• A. The self-insurer changes ownership
• B. The self-insurer has a change in minority shareholders
• C. The self-insurer has a material change in management
• D. The self-insurer changes address

Answer: (A)

In this policy area, changes that affect who is financially responsible for the self-insurer and whether the plan remains eligible must be reported to the Manager. A change in ownership is the scenario that triggers this notification because it alters the entity that bears future and outstanding claims and can impact the plan’s financial solvency and regulatory status. The Manager needs to review whether the new owner meets the plan’s requirements and update records accordingly to maintain compliance. A change in minority shareholders may not alter control, so it often does not require the same level of review. A material change in management can affect operations, but it does not inherently transfer liability or ownership, so it’s not the automatic trigger for notifying the Manager. An address change is administrative and typically doesn’t impact the plan’s risk profile or regulatory standing, so it doesn’t require notification.
