Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao is committed to use every tool at the government’s disposal to protect the benefits of American workers, retirees and their families.
Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWAs) provide health and welfare benefits to employees of two or more unrelated employers who are not parties to bona fide collective bargaining agreements. In concept, MEWAs are designed to give small employers access to low cost health coverage
on terms similar to those available to large employers. For certain employers they represent the only available option for providing employees with health care because insurance companies often will not insure small employers who do not fall within their desirable risk category. |
