You do not have to notify the Manager about a change in status where which situation occurs?

• A. The self-insurer changes ownership.
• B. There is no change in ownership.
• C. The self-insurer has a change in minority shareholders.
• D. The self-insurer has a material change in management.

Answer: (C)

Understanding when a self-insurer must notify the SIP Manager centers on changes that affect control, governance, or the ability to meet obligations. If ownership changes in a way that alters who controls the plan or who bears responsibility, or if there’s a material shift in management, the Manager needs to be informed so the agency can assess ongoing stability and compliance. However, changes that only involve minority shareholders do not alter control or governance of the plan. Because no single new owner gains influence or changes how decisions are made, the overall management and risk profile stays the same. Therefore, a change in minority shareholders does not require notifying the Manager.
