The definition of “participant” for purposes of the Form 5500 is defined below. The number of covered participants reported here includes covered employees plus COBRA qualified beneficiaries, but not children covered by a qualified medical child support order (QMCSO). Individuals covered by more than one component benefit program of the filing plan are counted only once for this purpose.
"Participant" means any individual who is included in one of the categories below:
1. Active participants include any individuals who are currently covered by a plan and who are earning or retaining credited service under a plan. This category does not include
(a) nonvested former employees who have incurred the break in service period specified in the plan or
(b) former employees who have received a "cash-out" distribution or deemed distribution of their entire nonforfeitable accrued benefit.
2. Retired or separated participants receiving benefits are any individuals who are retired or separated from employment covered by the plan and who are receiving benefits under the plan. This includes former employees who are receiving group health COBRA continuation coverage benefits and who are covered by the employee welfare benefit plan. This category does not include any individual to whom an insurance company has made an irrevocable commitment to pay all the benefits to which the individual is entitled under the plan.
3. Other retired or separated participants entitled to future benefits are any individuals who are retired or separated from employment covered by the plan and who are entitled to begin receiving benefits under the plan in the future. This category does not include any individual to whom an insurance company has made an irrevocable commitment to pay all the benefits to which the individual is entitled under the plan.
4. Deceased individuals who had one or more beneficiaries who are receiving or are entitled to receive benefits under the plan. This category does not include an individual if an insurance company has made an irrevocable commitment to pay all the benefits to which the beneficiaries of that individual are entitled under the plan.
