An organization seeking to sponsor a group must notify us in writing of its intention to sponsor a group, select the industry category, and indicate its loss limit choices for the group no later than two months before the beginning of the coverage period. Organizations that have not previously been approved must at that time establish that the organization qualifies for group sponsorship. Evidence of qualification may include bylaws or articles of incorporation filed with the secretary of state.

We will not enroll a new group if the sponsoring organization also sponsors another group in a different industry category that has not yet received its final adjustment for its second coverage period.
