Employer-paid $23,091 benchmarked for 2024 · $1,339,842 shown as filed, excluded as a likely filing error

Why excluded?

1 broker compensation line totaling $1,339,842 on the Form 5500 appears to be filing errors (a commission above 100% of the premium reported on that contract, or pay above $200 per participant per month or $50,000,000 on one line). We verified these amounts against the DOL EFAST publication — they are as filed by the plan sponsor, not an Unbrokered ingest error. Those lines are shown as filed and excluded from peer benchmarks and headline PEPM.

Showing 2024, the latest year with a complete peer group. A 2025 filing is on file and appears in broker history; it is not benchmarked yet.

Why 2024?

The figures above use 2024, the latest year we can compare with similar employers. A filing for 2025 is on file. Most employers have not filed for 2025 yet, so there is no complete peer group to compare it with. 2025 broker pay on file so far totals $69,340 across all lines, about 200% more than the $23,091 for 2024. Rows for 2025 stay in the broker history and stay out of the headline and the peer comparison.

Year:

The 2025 filing is on file and its figures are shown as filed, but most employers have not filed 2025 yet, so it is not compared with peers. The analysis year is 2024, the latest year that is complete and benchmarked.
