Description

Employers must provide a summary annual report (SAR) to plan participants by Sept. 30, 2024, for calendar-year plans if the employee benefit plan’s Form 5500 deadline was not extended. The SAR must be provided within nine months of the close of the plan year unless the plan’s Form 5500 deadline was extended. Plans exempt from the annual 5500 filing requirement are not required to provide an SAR. Unfunded welfare plans are also generally exempt from the SAR requirement.
