Sec. 14.
If a MEWA is terminated for any reason, the trust may not be dissolved until all outstanding financial obligations of the MEWA are paid. The MEWA may retain sufficient funds to provide coverage for an additional period as the trustees of the MEWA consider prudent. The trustees may purchase additional insurance for protection against potential future claims. Any funds remaining in the MEWA after satisfaction of all obligations must be paid to participating employers or covered employees in an equitable manner meeting with the approval of the commissioner. Written notice of the termination must be provided to each covered employee, the United States Department of Labor, and the commissioner at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of the termination.
