Skolnik, “Twenty-five Years of Employee- Benefit Plans,” Social Security Bulletin 39 (9) (1976): 5. Documentation An “employee-benefit plan,” as defined here, is any type of plan sponsored or initiated unilaterally or jointly by employers or employees and providing benefits that stem from the employment relationship and are not underwritten orpaid directly by government (federal, state, or local). In general, the intent is to include plans that provide in an orderly predetermined fashion (1) income maintenance when regular earnings are cut off because of death, accident, sickness, retirement, or unemployment, and (2) benefits to meet medical expenses associated with illness or injury. The plans exclude workers’ compensation required by statute and employer’s liability. Government employees who are covered by plans underwritten by nongovernmental organizations are included in the series, whether or not the government unit contributes (as an employer) to the financing of the program. Specifically included here are plans providing government employees with group life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and hospital, surgical, regular medical, and major-medical expense insurance. Retirement and sick-leave plans for government employees, which are financed and administered directly by government, are excluded from the series. Coverage data are generally based on the number of active participants (those currently employed) and may include persons who have been temporarily laid off or retired. The practice of continuing coverage for a retired worker is particularly prevalent in group life insurance. Many group life and health plans permit a person on layoff to continue coverage in the group for three to six months, and, in some cases, even longer. In addition, workers who have terminated employment may carry vested pension rights; these persons are often included in the total coverage group. No attempt has been made to correct the coverage data for such limitations; therefore, the proportion that covered employees represent of all employed workers and the proportion that contributions represent of aggregate payrolls are somewhat overstated. Nevertheless, long-run growth patterns for the various types of plans remain valid. Series Bf802. Group and wholesale life insurance coverage is based on data from the Institute of Life Insurance, Group Life Insurance and Group Annuity Coverage in the United States, annual issues, modified to exclude group plans not related to employment. It also excludes coverage under servicemen’s group life insurance plans. Self-insured death-benefit plan coverage is based on data for various trade-union, mutual benefits association, and companyadministered plans. Series Bf803. Accidental death and dismemberment coverage is from Health Insurance Association of America, Group Health Insurance Coverage in the United States, annual issues. Series Bf804 and Bf806–807. Data on hospitalization, surgical, and regular medical coverage are from Marjorie Smith Mueller and Paula A. Piro, “Private Health Insurance in 1974: A Review of Coverage, Enrollment, and Financial Experience,” Social Security Bulletin 39 (3) (1976): 3–20.; Health Insurance Association of America, Group Health Insurance Coverage in the United States,
PRIVATE WELFARE Series Bf802–813 825 TABLE Bf802–813 Employee-benefit plans – estimated number of workers covered, by type of benefit: 1950–1975 Continued annual issues; and Health Insurance Institute, Source Book of Health Insurance Data (1975–1976). Data are modified to exclude participants not actively employed and to allow for duplication resulting from participation in more than one plan, using benchmark data from a special household survey of employed workers conducted in conjunction with the April 1972 Current Population Survey. The data are adjusted to include employees covered by group comprehensive major-medical expenses insurance. Series Bf804–805. Hospitalization coverage includes private hospital plans written in compliance with state temporary disability insurance law in California, shown separately in series Bf805. Series Bf808. Major medical expenses coverage represents coverage under group supplementary and comprehensive major-medical insurance underwritten by commercial insurance carriers. Series Bf809–810. Temporary disability and formal sick leave programs include private plans written in compliance with state temporary disability insurance laws in California, Hawai’i, New Jersey, and New York, shown separately in series Bf810. The data are from A Survey of Accident and Health Coverage in the United States (Health Insurance Council, 1950) and the Health Insurance Association of America and Health Insurance Institute and are adjusted to exclude credit, accident, and health insurance. Data for 1950 are modified slightly to adjust for the effect of state temporary disability insurance laws on formal paid sick leave and self-insured plan coverage. Before 1963, this series includes group long-term disability, which was minimal before that time. Series Bf811. The long-term disability coverage series reported separately in 1963 comes from Health Insurance Institute, Source Book of Health Insurance Data (1975–1976). Series Bf812. Information on supplemental unemployment insurance is based on trade-union and industry reports and “Financing Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plans,” Monthly Labor Review, November 1969, and a 1976 survey of reports filed with the U.S. Department of Labor under the Welfare and Pension Plans Disclosure Act. The data exclude dismissal wage and separation allowances, except when financed from supplemental unemployment benefit funds covering temporary and permanent layoffs. Series Bf813. Retirement coverage is estimated by the Social Security Administration from data furnished primarily by the Institute of Life Insurance and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The data are adjusted for duplication resulting from participation in more than one plan and the vesting of benefits, using benchmark data from a special household survey of employed workers conducted in conjunction with the April 1972 Current Population Survey. The series includes pay-as-you-go and deferred profitsharing plans, plans of nonprofit organizations, union pension plans, and railroad plans supplementing the federal Railroad Retirement program. It excludes beneficiaries as well as pension plans for federal, state, and local government employees, tax-sheltered annuity plans, and plans for the self-employed.
