Plevna council votes to withdraw from MMIA workercomp program effective July 1
Summary
The Plevna Town Council voted 4-0 to voluntarily withdraw from the MMIA WorkerCompensation Program effective July 1, 2026, a move Clerk Bondell said could accelerate return payments from MMIA to the town.
The Plevna Town Council voted unanimously to voluntarily withdraw from the Montana Municipal Insurance Authority (MMIA) workercompensation program, with the change effective July 1, 2026.
Councilwoman Promise Miller moved to withdraw; Councilman Kyle Vennes seconded. The council recorded the motion as passed, Aye: 4, Nay: 0. Clerk/Treasurer Ashley Bondell told the council that withdrawing now likely would make return payments from MMIA start sooner than if the town remained a member until MMIAcloses the program after all open cases are settled.
The council did not specify individual repayment amounts or whether the town will change its insurance arrangements after July 1; Clerk Bondell said the town's fiscal position through June 30, 2025 was "in the positive," and that the decision on withdrawal involves trade-offs the council must accept. The vote is a formal direction; the minutes record no immediate replacement worker's compensation provider or contract selected at the meeting.
