"The scale of the problem prompted Congress to establish the Retirement Savings Lost and Found database in SECURE 2.0, which is intended to help reunite participants with their lost and forgotten retirement plan accounts.

"ALEs must furnish the 2025 Forms 1095-C to employees no later than March 2, 2026. Alternatively, ALEs have a new option available to instead post an online notice of availability for employees to request their form. Regardless, ALEs must electronically file the Forms 1094-C and 1095-C with the IRS no later than March 31, 2026. Non-ALEs sponsoring a self-insured plan (including a level funded plan) face the same deadlines for the Forms 1094-B and 1095-B."

"Health FSAs are subject to the Section 105(h) nondiscrimination rules. The components of these rules are many and layered, which creates a degree of complexity best left to the TPA to perform on the employer's behalf.... Unlike the dependent care FSA's nondiscrimination 55% average benefits test, the health FSA nondiscrimination tests offer sufficient alternatives and low thresholds that make it nearly unheard of to fail."

"After making the initial premium payment, qualified beneficiaries must make the subsequent premium payments by the end of a 30-day grace period for each month of coverage. If there is an insignificant shortfall in the premium amount paid, the plan generally must provide a notice of deficiency and a 30-day period for the qualified beneficiary to pay the remaining balance."

"Plan sponsors may not realize there is a gap in coverage, especially in situations involving related employers who maintain separate 401(k) plans. One of the most common errors in coverage testing is not counting all of the employees who are required to be included in the tests, which includes employees of related employers even if they are not participating in that entity's plan."
