The published 58th Annual Survey report will not include fee benchmarking data. There is an optional fee question imbedded in the annual survey questionnaire however and this data will be used to create a separate fee benchmarking report. If you complete that question, you will receive that report free as well.

If it is inappropriate, please delete. A BenefitsLink staff member I have been working with told me to post something here as she thought it may be beneficial for your readers.
