Employee Benefit Documents

The form 5500 is our most popular document. We can obtain all publicly available schedules and attachments, including lists of assets, auditors' reports, plan provisions, financial statements, and more.

No Hourly Charges

Similar services often run between $60 and $120 per hour! What separates us from the competition is that we only charge you for what we send you, not for the time it took us to obtain the documents!

The basic charge is only $65 per 5500 plus $.45 per page, and we also offer a number of helpful additional services at very low cost:

Form 5500
Annual report for a pension, health or welfare plan.
$65.00
SEC Overview
For publicly traded companies, we can obtain copies of the most recent annual reports and proxy statements.
$6.99
Blue-Ribbon Certification

$14.99
Extended Plan History Report
We can obtain a list of all 5500s filed for a particular plan all the way back to 1999.
$65.00 for the first plan
$20.00 for each additional plan
Photocopying
All documents, regardless of shipping method, are subject to this fee which helps cover government copying fees.
$0.45 per page
Minimum Research Free
In the event nothing is found on your order, you will be charged a minimum fee for time spent performing the reseach.
$50.00 per order

Other documents we can obtain include:

Summary Plan Descriptions
The most recently available SPDs are from the 1997 plan year, so this would be the most recent copy we could obtain.

Rush Service

Typical turnaround time is 5 business days for most of our documents. This can seem like an eternity when you have a court date, a meeting deadline, or when you just can't wait! When you absolutely need your documents right away, we offer VIP Rush service.

VIP Rush
We drop everything and work to get your order right away. We can usually get it to you overnight if you order by 1pm Eastern. If we cannot provide the documents with 24 hours, you are notified and the rush fee is waived. Not available for some documents such as blue-ribbon certification, SPDs or Top Hat Letters.
$49.99 per document
