VincentBocchinfuso CPC Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Hello all- Does anyone have any recommendations for any online services that my company could sign up for (paid, free or otherwise) to use as a reference tool for researching any kind of retirement plan administration question. Thanks. CPC, QPA, QKA, ERPA

VincentBocchinfuso CPC Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 BenefitsLink.com Wow thanks alot I really appreciate your help. I wonder if you are that sarcastic to someone in real life that you have never met- probably not , that would mean you would have to actually be accountable for your words. CPC, QPA, QKA, ERPA
david rigby Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Not at all. It is a ringing endorsement of this website. I use it often as a way to narrow down a search for information; for example, searching for an approximate date when so-and-so happened. I'm a retirement actuary.

GBurns Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I doubt that any sarcasm was intended. I almost made the same respponse with no such thought, just pointing out the obvious.

Tom Poje Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 for a cost, before BenefitsLink I had used this, but its been too many years for me to comment now. back then they had many good people involved: (Pension Information eXchange http://pixpc.com/ also TAG, same type of deal as above, there is a fee. I know even less about them. don't even know what there website is or what the acronym stands for. Technical something or other of course there is ASPPA. they provide a number of webcasts, education materials, etc. http://www.asppa.org/about/about_who.htm and NIPA (its similar to ASPPA) http://www.nipa.org/ which I know nothing about but for the cost, BenfitsLink. (Its free, but I guess you get what you pay for) Many years ago the Grand Poobah Dave Baker asked me to help out, so that is my connection - for better or worse.
BG5150 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 TAG = Technical Answer Group, and is part of CCH/Walters Kluwer. There is a fee, but I'm not sure what it is. They have a database of Q&A's and you can submit to them your questions and you'll get an answer in a day. I have found that they are pretty good.

Kevin C Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 We've used web based products from both CCH and RIA. They both offer a range of packages with different levels of content and price. You should be able to get a 30 day free trial from most of the web based services. http://hr.cch.com http://ria.thomsonreuters.com/leap
