Who is Eligible for the Plan?
U.S. C&MA employees are eligible if they are an active, regular, full-time (paid to work 20 hours or more) employee of the C&MA National Office, district office or local church, and any agency, auxiliary organization or institution officially related to the C&MA. Employers may have additional requirements.
In order for U.S. C&MA employees to be eligible to participate in the Health Plan, an employer/church must be located in a cooperating district that has agreed to have at least 50% of Eligible Official Workers participating. Each participating church must enroll 100% of Eligible Official Workers unless covered by a spouse’s employer’s plan or government-sponsored plan such as Medicare or Medicaid.
International worker coverage and benefits are provided through a self-funded benefits plan that is sponsored and maintained through The Alliance. International Ministries (IM) will inform eligible workers. In order to participate in the Alliance Benefits Plan, workers will be required to complete their enrollment packet and return it to IM within 30 days of their date of hire.
