There will be a change to the SOCA MEWA product dues effective 5/1/2025. The product dues will be increasing from the current $2.50 PEPM to $3.00 PEPM. This is the first increase to product dues since the plan’s creation and reflects the rising costs of the current environment. This change will apply to both new and existing business beginning May 1, 2025.
This change will be communicated to our existing SOCA MEWA clients and brokers in an email from MEWA.IO scheduled to go out March 3, followed by a reminder email being sent on April 21. The Business Acknowledgement form that is part of the Employer Packet for submissions has been updated for May 1, 2025 new business and forward.
