NJ Stop-Loss Bill Passed in Both Houses

Designate a quiet space in the building that employees can use to practice meditation and focus on their breathing. Encourage mindfulness by providing employees with resources to help them focus on the positive things in life. Host an adult coloring gathering where your employees can congregate, socialize and enjoy the de-stressing effects of coloring. This additional focus on mental health will contribute to a better work environment with happy and more motivated employees.

It’s easy to feel lonely and less motivated during the winter. But as your employees spend a significant portion of their day at work, an increased focus on wellbeing during the colder months can help boost morale and keep your employees happier—and healthier—year-round.

New Jersey’s somewhat contentious stop-loss bill (A5095/S3270) passed in both the Senate and Assembly on January 13, 2020. The bill will now advance to the desk of Governor Murphy, where he will either approve, veto, or conditionally veto the bill. 

The bill originally called for the complete prohibition of stop-loss policies in the New Jersey small group market. Passed by the legislature yesterday with amendments, stop-loss policies can still be sold to small employers. The stop-loss rating must be compliant with the NJ SEH Benefits Program and policies are subject to guaranteed renewal. Additionally, the following conditions will exist:

  • A specific attachment point of no less than $40,000
  • An aggregate attachment point of at least 140% of the expected claims per plan year

These provisions would apply to all stop-loss policies sold or in-force with small employers in New Jersey on or after April 1, 2020. The full bill can be found here.
