I think the issue is that if they only have one client then they could be considered employees from a 'discrim/coverage' standpoint. The issue is probably not in the area of insured plans but the qualified plans. The 410(b) is our adequate coverage test for the pension plan.

who knows. I can't imagine that a customer would somehow owe insurance to the provider's employees. Michelle

God I hope not! However, we do include a portion of leased employees in our 410(b) tests for 'insurance'. I'd like to know who he talked with.

Michelle, I was presented with some interesting information yesterday
and I wanted to run it by you . . . I was not told this by an ERISA
attorney but it was a person who works with Benefits frequently. The
person told me that, if a company only had one customer, the company's
employees had to be included in the control group of the customer for
discrimination testing purposes on the benefits plans. It sounded a
little iffy to me . . . could you verify? Thanks.
