Benefits may be provided through insurance contracts paid for by the plan (an insured plan), from net assets accumulated in a trust established by the plan (a self-funded plan), or both. A health and welfare plan may process benefit payments directly or it may retain a third-party administrator. In either case, a plan that is fully or partially self-funded is obligated for the related benefits. Health and welfare benefit plans generally are subject to certain fiduciary, reporting, and other requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
