Title: Revision of the Form 5500 Series and Implementing and Related Regulations Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
Abstract: Each year, pension and welfare benefit plans subject to title I of ERISA are generally required to file an annual return/report, the Form 5500 Series, regarding their financial condition, investments, and operations. The Form 5500 Series is the primary source of information concerning the operation, funding, assets, and investments of pension and other employee benefit plans. The Form 5500 Series is not only an important compliance and research tool for the Department, but is also a disclosure document for plan participants and beneficiaries and a source of information and data for use by other Federal agencies, Congress, and the private sector in assessing employee benefit, tax, and economic trends and policies. As part of the President's Pension Simplification proposal, the agencies are undertaking a comprehensive review of the annual return/report forms in an effort to streamline the information required to be reported and the methods by which such information is filed and processed.
