DOL Says Open MEPs are Multiple Plans Under ERISA
|
|
|
On May 25, the DOL issued Advisory Opinion 2012-04A with that ruling: Under ERISA, an open MEP is a series of separate ERISA plans, one for each adopting employer. The most immediate implication of this ruling is that arguably open MEPs must file separate Forms 5500 (or 5500-SF or -EZ) for each adopting employer. If an employer has more than 100 participants, there would need to be a separate audit. This takes away two of the benefits open MEP promoters have long claimed for their arrangement.
