Plan Admin Expenses (Allocation)

[rhb401]

Is anyone aware of any DOL statements, positions, AOs etc which specifically address the issue of the "reasonableness" of the allocation of multi-employer plan expenses among the Funds and e.g. the Union or employer association. Such "shared" expenses usually include rent, payroll and similar common expenses when the entities share the same building or offices.

The issue continually comes up in EBSA audits.
