The United Agricultural Employee Welfare Benefit Plan & Trust (UABT) was established in March of 1983 under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) by a group of agribusiness employers. These employers were all members of United Agribusiness League. They believed then and now that this was the best way they could provide their employees quality health benefits at a minimum cost.

Since its formation, UABT has provided benefits to more than 2500 agribusiness employers and 250,000 employees and dependents. Today, with annual employer contributions totaling more than $50,000,000, UABT upholds its reputation within the agribusiness community as providing the most affordable health and welfare benefit plans for its participating United Agribusiness League members.

On December 29, 1995, UABT was informed by the California Department of Insurance that UABT had been awarded the first Certificate of Compliance. This license confirmed UABT had passed the DOI’s exhaustive evaluation of our financial condition, stop loss arrangements, past performance and administrative procedures.
