Valley Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists, P.A. 401(k) Plan
Valley Ear Nose & Throat Specialist P.A. · Mcallen, TX · EIN 742139209 · Plan 001 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024
What Valley Ear Nose & Throat Specialist P.A put into the plan, per active participant
Not on this filing
The plan ended the year with a fraction of the active participants it began with, so a full year of employer money would divide across the few people left and read as a figure no employee received. The total is shown instead of a per-person amount.
The plan received $87,002 of employer money in plan year 2024. The total is shown here because the filing does not support dividing it per person.
A plan whose active count collapsed during the year is kept out of every peer group, because ranking it would move everyone else. Nothing is filled in from an average, from another year or from another plan.

What the plan cost, per participant
Not ranked
Schedule H reports $0 in plan-paid administrative expenses. That usually means the employer pays the bills directly, or that fees are netted inside fund assets, so the plan is not ranked on cost and $0 is not a cheap plan.
Total plan assets at the end of plan year 2024
$3.9M
The plan held $3,930,880 at the end of plan year 2024 for 144 participants. It is the largest amount this filing states, and it is here because neither of the two amounts the Monitor Score is built from is on it.
401(k) Monitor Score
Not scored
This filing reports neither of the two amounts the score is built from, so it takes none.
Nothing is filled in from an average, from another year or from another plan, because a two-part score computed on one part is a different measure wearing the same name.
What the score would read, on a filing that carries both: Where this plan stands against plans of its size and industry on two amounts its Form 5500 reports: employer money in per active person, and plan-paid cost per person. It reads no match formula, no vesting schedule and no fund lineup, because a Form 5500 states none of them.

The match and vesting terms, from a Form 11-K
The match formula and the vesting schedule are stated in a Form 11-K, which is filed only by employers whose plan holds company stock. A Form 5500 reports neither.
What Valley Ear Nose & Throat Specialist P.A puts in
Not in public filings for this employer
We have no SEC Form 11-K for this employer, and the Form 5500 this page is built from does not report match terms.
Two places state the terms in full: your plan’s Summary Plan Description, which your employer must provide on request, and your recordkeeper’s site, the one you log in to for your balance.
What you contribute to collect all of it
Not in public filings for this employer
The rate that collects the full match is part of the match formula, which a Form 5500 does not report.
Vesting score
Not scored
The vesting schedule is stated in a Form 11-K, and we have none for this employer.
A schedule this cannot read at whole-year anniversaries is left without a number rather than given a middle one.
What the plan costs, against plans of its size
Not reported
The Form 5500 filing does not report the plan-paid administrative expenses this figure needs.
What to check next
Money in, without a headcount to divide it by
The plan ended the year with a fraction of the active participants it began with, so the employer money is shown as a total above and not per person. Your own statement shows what reached your account.
Your own numbers are not on this page
Every figure here is the whole plan for plan year 2024, taken from one filing and divided by headcounts. Your own contribution rate, your balance and the fees taken from your account are on your recordkeeper’s site. What you may put in during a year is set by the IRS and not by the plan: this year’s limits ↗.

Filings lag by design: a plan can file up to 9½ months after its year ends, so this is the newest data on file. Why filings lag
