Form 5500 required for vision plan?

[John A]

Is a 5500 required for an entirely voluntary, group-sponsored vision plan? It that is not enough information to make a determination, what further info. do I need to determine if a 5500 is or is not required?

Is the plan fully insured? Who is funding the plan?

How many participants at beginning of year?

Are premiums withheld from participants pay, and if so, how fast are they remitted to insurer?

Is there a cafeteria plan involved?

When your say "group sponsored", are you describing something that does not involve employees and employers, such a a plan offered by the chamber of commerce?
