<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">As the MSMA Group Insurance Trust (GIT) communicated in the fall of 2024, MSMA GIT launched a project to sponsor a private Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) plan to be made available to Maine public
school districts. Unfortunately, the project was delayed for almost two months due to restrictions imposed on the insurance carriers by the Maine Bureau of Insurance.</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">After undergoing a full RFP process including finalist interviews, the trustees for the MSMA GIT have selected the Guardian as the carrier to offer a private Maine PFML plan to Maine’s public school districts
sponsored by MSMA GIT. </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">Due to the PFML regulations released by the Maine DOL, MSMA GIT is unable to be named the policyholder of a private Maine PFML plan but is able to secure competitive pricing based on a block purchase.
As a result, each school district would have their own private PFML policy with the Guardian but still receive all of the advantages of being affiliated with the MSMA GIT.</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">The advantages of a private PFML plan through the MSMA GIT include:</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">Rate below the State rate*</span></i><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">No requirement to have another line of insurance coverage with MSMA GIT </span></i><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">Guardian national account team for all MSMA participating districts</span></i><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">Access to resources at MSMA including the superb support of Wendy Douglas, Client Services Manager at MSMA, to help with any issues that arise. Wendy will be supporting
the new PFML plan as she does now for the current GIT dental, life, and disability plans.</span></i><u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size:12pt">This is in addition to the potential for savings of 13 months of contributions to the State plan</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:12pt">. Here is a
</span></i><a href="https://5il.co/3c8kc" target="_blank"><b><i><span style="font-size:12pt">link</span></i></b></a><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> to a calculator to estimate the potential savings, assuming an exemption from contributions to the State
is effective April 1, 2025.</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">After receiving your census in November, MSMA was informed that school districts who share an FEIN with a municipality cannot separately choose to participate in a private PFML plan as all employees under
the same FEIN must be covered under the same plan, either the State plan or a private PFML plan. Since municipalities are not eligible to participate in MSMA’s GIT plans and we didn’t know if your district had a separate FEIN, your census was not included
with the RFP sent in November to the insurance carriers.</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">Assuming there is no Material and Substantial differences in the risk from other districts as represented by your district’s census,
<b>the</b> <b>Guardian is offering a rate of .88% or .98% </b>for</span></i><span style="font-size:12pt">
<i>a private PFML plan<b> </b>through MSMA GIT for Maine’s public school districts.
</i></span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-size:12pt">If your district has a separate FEIN from your municipality and you would like to know if your district is eligible for the .88% or .98% rate</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size:12pt">, please
contact Wendy Douglas at </span></i><a href="mailto:WDouglas@msmaweb.com" target="_blank"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">WDouglas@msmaweb.com</span></i></a><i><span style="font-size:12pt">. The rate will be guaranteed until April 1, 2028, assuming no Material and Substantial
change in the risk, which is standard language in insurance proposals.</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>

and answer participants’ questions. A separate communication with webinar details will be forthcoming.</span></i><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">May 31, 2025 is the deadline for filing an application online with the DOL for a private plan substitution in order to be exempted from paying into the State program effective

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12pt">* Please note, for districts with less than 15 employees under one FEIN, the Guardian rate will be higher than the State rate so the State plan will likely be a preferable option.</span></i><u></u><u></u></p>
