ERISA requires employers to use employee share of insurer rebates by Dec. 30
Under ERISA, employers that received a medical loss ratio (MLR) rebate from insurers must distribute or apply the employee share within roughly three months of receipt; those receiving rebates on September 30 face a deadline around December 30. A KFF analysis estimates insurers issued about $759 million in MLR rebates in 2026, down from $1.6 billion in 2025 and $958 million in 2024.
