Tribal Government and Casino Plan


5500Nerd

Recommended Posts

I have a client that is deemed a tribal government that runs a casino. Their benefits plan covers both governmental employees and those who work in the casino. With the casino attribute I assume they need to follow ERISA law. For the Form 5500, do I only count those in the casino or all of the employees? 

Many thanks for your help.

There are 2 or 3 prior discussion threads that might be relevant to you (or they might be out of date) in this forum.  Try the Search box, making sure to click "Search in this forum".  I suggest a search term of "tribal", or something similar.

Just ONE commercial employee in a Tribal Plan makes it subject to ERISA.  Therefore, since the entire plan is subject to ERISA, you would prepare Form 5500 considering all participants in the plan.
