DOL Can Easily Use Large Retirement Plan Filings to Uncover Missing Welfare Plan 5500s
Belfint Lyons & Shuman, CPAs Link to more items from this source
Feb. 19, 2014

"Some welfare benefit providers prepare the Form 5500 for their clients, others just send the required Schedule A attachments. Large plan sponsors who are not aware of the purpose for the Schedule A sometimes file the form away, not realizing that it is an indication that they must file a Form 5500. In most cases, employers who file a large plan Form 5500 for their [retirement] plan also have a welfare plan filing. The bad news is that electronic filing through EFAST 2 has made it very easy for the [DOL] to locate large plan sponsors who filed a Form 5500 for their retirement plan, but did not do so for their welfare plans."
