The Form M-1 is required to be filed under section 101(g) and

This document announces the availability of the Year 2002 Form M-1,
Annual Report for Multiple Employer Welfare Arrangements (MEWAs) and
Certain Entities Claiming Exception (ECEs). A copy of the new form is
attached. This year's Form M-1 is substantively identical to the Year
2001 Form M-1. In addition, the filing deadlines for the Year 2002 Form
M-1 parallel those for last year's form. Specifically, the Year 2002
Form M-1 is generally due March 1, 2003, with an extension until May 1,
2003 available. These Year 2002 deadlines were also previously
published; they are included in the Department of Labor's regulations
implementing the Form M-1 filing requirement and they were set forth in
last year's Form M-1.
PWBA is committed to working together with administrators to help
them comply with this filing requirement. Additional copies of the Form
