On Oct. 27, 2015, Insurance Commissioner Sevigny issued Bulletin INS-15-065-AB related to the definition of “small group” under state law. New Hampshire insurance statutes define a small group as an employer with up to 50 employees. Since the federal provision mandating the change of the definition of small group to 100 employees is no longer in effect as a result of the PACE Act, New Hampshire will keep its definition of small group at 1 - 50 employees. Thus, groups with 51 to 100 employees will continue to be rated as large groups and will not be required to switch to the small group market in 2016.
