The exemption that matters in every state
Self-insured (self-funded) employer plans are regulated by federal ERISA law, not state law, and are exempt from state coverage mandates. Roughly two-thirds of covered U.S. workers are on self-insured plans — your employer's benefits office can tell you which kind of plan you have.
