What is retirement plan administration?
Retirement plan administration is the process of managing a retirement plan in a way that optimizes the plan’s design to be efficient and reliable.
It involves determining who is eligible, how contributions are allocated, meeting government nondiscrimination tests, and sending reports to company management and the Federal Government. Reach out to Benefit Equity Inc. for details and help.
There are a variety of tasks required to administer the annual employer’s plan. These include:
• Collecting and reviewing employee census data and investment statements
• Reviewing and communicating contribution options and fiduciary compliance requirements
• Performing compliance testing
• Preparing plan valuations, employer, and employee reports and the 5500 Report/Return for signature and filing by the employer
