Abstract: The EFAST system contains
data captured from the Forms 5500 (Annual Report/Return of Employee Benefit
Plan) and related attachments that were filed with the Department of Labor
beginning with plan year 1999. Employee benefit plans are required to file Form
5500 each year (certain welfare benefit plans maintained by small employers do
not need to file a Form 5500). The form captures information related to the
operation of the plan.
Purpose: The data base was created to
facilitate PWBA's disclosure and enforcement responsibilities under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act as well as for research activities. The
data base is used to locate images of the Form 5500 filings and to create
facsimiles of the filings to disclose the information in the filings to plan
participants and others. In addition, information from these forms is used to
determine whether the plans are operating according to the law and may be used
for a variety of research projects.
Agency Program: The
information captured by the form(s) is used to carry out the law as specified
in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Internal Revenue
Code sections 6039D, 6047(e), 6057(b), and 6058(a). Plans are required to
provide this information. It is used by the Department of Labor and the
Internal Revenue Service to determine whether plans are operating according to
the law.
