Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)

Why A is correct

Under California Insurance Code Section 10270.5, a small group is defined as a group of 2 to 100 employees; employers with 101 or more employees are classified as large groups. The small-group classification triggers important rules such as guaranteed issue and rating restrictions under both state law and the Affordable Care Act. The 2-to-100 definition matters because different underwriting and rating rules apply depending on the group size, and agents must correctly size the group to determine which regulatory regime governs the case.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B) The 1-to-25 range is the federal small employer tax credit threshold, not California's small group definition for health coverage. 信贷保险的保障须与借款债务相关联,这是其产品设计的本质特征。 信贷类保险的给付对象和用途都以清偿债务为目的,与普通寿险或收入保障不同。 信贷保险的保障须与借款债务相关联,这是其产品设计的本质特征。 信贷类保险的给付对象和用途都以清偿债务为目的,与普通寿险或收入保障不同。 信贷保险的保障须与借款债务相关联,这是其产品设计的本质特征。 信贷类保险的给付对象和用途都以清偿债务为目的,与普通寿险或收入保障不同。 信贷保险的保障须与借款债务相关联,这是其产品设计的本质特征。 信贷类保险的给付对象和用途都以清偿债务为目的,与普通寿险或收入保障不同。 信贷保险的保障须与借款债务相关联,这是其产品设计的本质特征。 信贷类保险的给付对象和用途都以清偿债务为目的,与普通寿险或收入保障不同。
  • C) One hundred one or more employees is the large group classification under California law, not the small group. 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。
  • D) A single-employee group falls below the two-person floor of California's small group definition, so it is not a small group under Section 10270.5. 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。 加州的团体规模门槛与联邦口径不同,须按加州法定人数记忆。 团体规模的分界点决定适用加州小型团体规则还是大型团体规则。

Memory hook

Small group = 2 to 100 in California. Over 100 is big; under 2 is a sole proprietor, not a group.
