How do MMA’s insurance dividend programs work?

MMA offers a dividend program on its workers’ compensation and commercial package policies through Amerisure. Each year, depending on market conditions and plan experience rates, dividends may be issued to plan participants based on earned premium. Payouts of $800,000 were made in 2001, and total more than $17 million over the past 11 years. Commercial package dividends have averaged 14%, and workers’ compensation 9%, for the 15 years the program has been in effect.

What does MMA do to keep insurance rates down?

The group buying power of nearly 3,000 companies means that members of MMA can take advantage of more competitive insurance programs and rates. MMA, in partnership with its service providers, works to hold rates as low as possible through excellent program management and aggressive loss control initiatives. MMA’s life insurance program rates, for instance, have not increased for the past 14 years.
