Publication Printers Corporation 401(k) Plan

Publication Printers Corporation · Denver, CO · EIN 840782807 · Plan 001 · Form 5500 for plan year 2024

This is the plan's final filing: the plan has been terminated, so the year it covers can be a partial one.

What Publication Printers 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 $7,162 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

$134.03

The plan paid $134.03 per participant in plan-paid administrative expenses in plan year 2024.

This is the plan's final filing, so the plan no longer exists. Every plan it would be ranked against was still running at the end of the year, so this figure is printed as the filing states it and is given no standing among them.

What this figure counts, and what it leaves out

Schedule H reports only what came out of plan assets. Fees the sponsor pays directly, and fees taken inside fund expense ratios, never appear here, so this is a floor and not the all-in cost.

401(k) Monitor Score

Not scored

This is the plan's final filing, so the plan no longer exists. The score is a standing among plans of the same size and industry, and all of those were still running at the end of the year, so a filing that closes a plan takes no score.

The amounts this filing does report stay above, printed as the filing states them. Nothing is filled in from an average, from another year or from another plan.

What the score would read, on a plan that was still running at the end of the year: 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 Publication Printers 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 ranked

This is the plan's final filing, so the plan no longer exists. Every plan it would be ranked against was still running at the end of the year, so this figure is printed as the filing states it and is given no standing among them.

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.

  • If you had money in this plan

    This is the plan’s final filing, so the plan has been wound up and the accounts in it went elsewhere. The Department of Labor runs a free search for retirement money left behind at a former employer: Retirement Savings Lost and Found ↗.

  • 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 ↗.
