Which action most accurately reflects the requirement for reporting a change in minority shareholders?

• A. Notification is required for all changes
• B. Notification is not required for minority shareholder changes
• C. Notification is required only if ownership exceeds 50%
• D. Notification is required only if the director approves the change

Answer: (B)

Reporting rules in self-insurance plans hinge on whether a change affects control or the plan’s ability to meet obligations. A change among minority shareholders does not alter who controls the plan or its financial backing, so there’s no obligation to notify regulators or the plan administrator. If a future change were to create a controlling interest or otherwise impact funding, that would trigger reporting. The other options would unnecessarily require notification for routine minority trades or tie reporting to a threshold that doesn’t reflect control changes.
