1. Coverage. A multiple employer welfare arrangement must provide coverage as authorized by the board.

2. Uniform underwriting. A multiple employer welfare arrangement must offer its coverages subject to the same underwriting standards to all members and, if applicable, to all members' employees.

3. Continuing responsibility. Notwithstanding cancellation or termination of coverage to a particular member, ceasing to offer a particular coverage, or termination or revocation of authority to self-fund, a multiple employer welfare arrangement retains indefinitely all responsibilities to members and other covered persons associated with the period while coverage was in force. This responsibility ceases only after a multiple employer welfare arrangement dissolves under subsection 4 of section 45-06-14-07.
