MBPET is a “jointly managed trust,” which is described as:
A Jointly Managed Trust is employees and employers
working together year-round to purchase health care benefits. Technically, a Jointly Managed Trust
(JMT) is a Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA)
described in IRS Code Section 501(c) (9). A Board of Trustees, including teacher
representatives, contract with various health care providers, govern a trust and design health care
plans to best meet the needs of your members. Through this joint effort, benefit costs may be lower,
new benefit ideas can be explored, and problems that arise can be dealt with immediately.
