Association Health Plan Expands Eligibility to CUSO Employees

​The Minnesota Credit Union Employee Benefits Plan (Plan) has expanded participant eligibility to employees of Credit Union Services Organizations (CUSO). ​The Plan is an association health plan through which participating employer groups purchase health benefits for their employee as if they were one larger group. 

​Through this collaboration, Minnesota headquartered credit unions -- and now CUSOs -- obtain more bargaining power and reduce risk and cost volatility in purchasing health benefits for employees.

Late in 2021, the board of trustees for the Plan approved amendments to the bylaws to allow CUSOs, headquartered in Minnesota and owned in whole or in part by a MnCUN member credit union, to participate in the Plan. This expansion provides more opportunities for the Plan to grow and at the same time provides an excellent option for eligible CUSOs.
