Missed or Late Enrollment
Late enrollment can have negative tax consequences for the employee. It is the Employer’s responsibility to ensure employees are enrolled in MEBP as soon as the compulsory eligibility requirements have been met. If you discover that an enrollment has been missed, enroll the employee immediately on the first day of the pay period following discovery of the missed enrollment. Upon receipt of the completed enrollment forms, MEBP Administration Office will contact you to inform you of the amount of arrears contributions and late penalties owing to the fund(s).
