Form 5500 search: look up your employer plan's annual report

A Department of Labor search of the annual reports (Form 5500) that many employer plans file. A search can help you work out whether your employer plan is insured or pays claims itself.

Applies to: Job-based plan

Know before you go

The page lets you search Form 5500 series annual reports. A plan with fewer than 100 participants that is unfunded, insured or both does not have to file, so finding no report does not prove how your plan is funded. This site has loaded the search page but has not run a search, so what a report shows (for example how insurance contracts appear) is not confirmed. Your summary plan description is the better first place to look.
