EFAST is a system designed to simplify and expedite the receipt and processing of the Forms 5500/5500-EZ.  These forms are filed each year by more than one million pension and other employee benefit plans to satisfy annual reporting requirements under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.

The Department of Labor, Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation created the EFAST system to streamline the forms and the methods by which they are filed and processed.

EBSA launched this dedicated Web site to provide filers with up-to-date information about filing requirements, electronic filing options, software availability, FAQs, publications, and forms.

Notice Related To Payment Of Penalties - If you send us a check, it will be converted into an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually occur within 24 hours, and will be shown on your regular account statement.  You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but we will keep the copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer up to 2 times.
