34 JOHN C. HUGHES, ESQ. THE ERISA LAW GROUP, P.A. 205 N. 10th Street, Suite 300 Boise, Idaho ERISALAW John is a shareholder with The ERISA Law Group, P.A. focused in the area of ERISA/employee benefits. His practice is He typically represents companies relative to issues involving all types of employee benefit plans including 401(k), profit sharing, pension/defined benefit, 457, 403(b), nonqualified deferred compensation/409a, employee stock ownership ( ESOP ), governmental, 125/cafeteria, and health and welfare plans. John counsels clients on a variety of plan related issues including fiduciary responsibilities, plan operations and administrative issues, plan corrections, plan design, mergers and acquisitions, litigation, and plan qualification. John is the Coeditor-In-Chief of a long standing nationally circulated monthly newsletter entitled the 401(k) Advisor. He is a former President and Board Member of the Boise Chapter of the Western Pension & Benefits Council. 34
35 Required to be filed annually by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ( ERISA ) IRS form submitted to IRS and the U.S. Department of Labor Reports on plan activity (welfare and pension plans) Significant penalties if not filed or late Used to gather information about plans Various sections, schedules, and attachments 35
36 Filed electronically and reviewed, at least to some extent, electronically Used by DOL and IRS as an enforcement tool It is a way to take a closer look at plan operations and identify which plans might require follow up/investigation Avoid unnecessarily raising red flags in completing Carefully review for accuracy and compliance with instructions prior to submission 36
37 Some items that might have a tendency to trigger inquiry include: Incorrect/varying information (e.g., plan names, numbers, and sponsor names) Nonresponses (e.g., leaving parts of Line 6 blank) Responses coded or labelled as other. Wrong Line 8 codes Reporting no fidelity bond in place (or suspect amount of the bond) 37
38 Completion of Schedule C incorrectly Improper description/reporting of late deposits Take away Carefully complete in accordance with the instructions and review. It is the employer s filing, not the recordkeeper/tpa s 38
39 New questions were added by IRS to 2015 Form 5500 Aimed at compliance issues (i.e., legal compliance) Hard to say how particular issues were picked Importantly, IRS then came out and advised they should not be answered Stated in the instructions Eliminated from 2017 form supposedly 39
40 Answering could present problems Not following instructions (indicative of other problems or poor plan administration) Providing information that might raise a question 40
41 Page 1 Preparer information Schedule H (and I) Line 4o Defined Benefit Plan or Money Purchase Pension Plan Only: Were any distributions made during the plan year to an employee who attained age 62 and had not separated from service Additional Schedule H questions in 2015 version Some Schedule H (and I) compliance questions already exist Schedule H Line 6 Name of trust, trustee (or custodian), trust EIN, and trustee phone number 41
42 Schedule R Part VII (Lines 20 22) Is the plan a 401(k) plan? Interesting given Line 8 code. How did the plan satisfy nondiscrimination testing under Code Section 401(k)(3) for the year? Safe harbor to ADP testing How was Code Section 410(b) coverage testing performed? Ratio percentage test or average benefit test Did the plan satisfy Code Section 410(b) and 401(a)(4) using permissive aggregation rules? 42
43 Schedule R Additions (continued) If the plan is a preapproved plan (i.e., prototype or volume submitter), the date of the applicable opinion or advisory letter (and the serial number) If the plan is individually designed, the date of the most recent determination letter 2015 contained more. Plan timely amended for required legal updates? Good to know the answer to these questions (mini audit, identify problems, ready to answer in future or fix) What does the future hold for the new questions? 43
44 Schedule H Line 4a Late deposits? Line 4d Nonexempt transactions with a party in interest? Line 4e Plan covered by fidelity bond? Line 4l Fail to provide any benefits when due? Line 4m and n Blackout period? Notice provided? Line 5a Resolution to terminate? Line 5b Transfers out of the plan? 44
45 Bigger picture than added compliance questions Proposed overhaul by DOL, PBGC and IRS July 2016 About 200 pages in Federal Register (July 21, 2016) 45
46 Policies and Rationale Supporting the Proposed Revisions: Notes high number of welfare and retirement plans Approximately 4.6M and 681,000, respectively Covering 143 private sector workers, retirees, and dependents. Estimated assets of $8.7 trillion. Form 5500 is primary source of information regarding these plans operations and funding Compliance tool for federal agencies and private sector. 46
47 Target effective date of January 1, Statement from DOL Fact Sheet: The proposed form revisions and the DOL s implementing regulations together are intended to address changes in applicable law, the employee benefit plan and financial market sectors, as well as corresponding shifts in the data needed for the Agencies enforcement priorities, policy analysis, rulemaking, compliance assistance, and educational activities. The proposed changes would also improve publicly available information about employee benefit plans and reinforce for plan fiduciaries the important duties they have under ERISA to operate plans prudently and monitor service providers. 47
48 Major Goals Improve and modernize financial reporting Changes in plans and investment practices. Alternative investments, hard to value assets, etc. Obtain more information regarding health plans Includes requiring fully insured plans (large and small) and small self-funded plans to complete and file Form 5500 Improve data mining capabilities Better coordinate Schedule C reporting with ERISA Section 408(b)(2) disclosure requirements 48
49 Increase compliance focus New questions regarding operations, provider relationships, and finances aimed at protecting participants and educating fiduciaries Change requirements related to limited scope audits (imposing more conditions) 49
50 What is in store for the proposed changes? Public comments. Change in regulatory environment. Next steps? 50
51 Reviewed by people, but also by computer Must be filed electronically Filings are publicly available online IRS and DOL use in part to identify plans to investigate Wrong or incomplete filing could unnecessarily trigger inquiry 51
