Guest Melissa Winslow Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 Historically we have charged plan participants a loan administration fee when he/she takes a loan from a DC plan. We are thinking of charging the participant an annual administration fee as well (paid from plan assets). I have been unable to find any regulations addressing annual fees. Are there restrictions out there I should be aware of? Cites appreciated.
bzorc Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 There are no cites that I can think of, but annual loan maintenance fees are becoming more and more popular. I have seen them in the $10-25 range for a year. Some things to consider: 1. Only applied to new loans taken after a specific date 2. How often is the fee collected? I worked on a plan that allowed participants to have 9 loans outstanding at once. These maintenance fees add up!
Guest Posted June 13, 2000 Posted June 13, 2000 Charging annual loan maintenance fees are very common. I have seen them charged to plan assets, to the participants themselves, and billed to the plan sponsor. I am not aware of any cites against this. The plan sponsor should agree that the fees are reasonable and can be deducted from plan assets (the plan document needs to allow this as well). I have seen annual loan maintenance fees as high as $50, with setup fees as high as $125. ------------------ Carol J. Ringwald President CJR Consulting Group, Inc.
