Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $248K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $37.0M in 2011 to $201M in 2024 (up 444%), and participants from 1,269 to 3,947 (up 211%).

Questions and answers
How big is Metropolitan Jewish Health System, Inc. 403(b) Plan?
3,947 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 3,209 were active employees, with net assets of $201,198,625. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Metropolitan Jewish Health System, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $112 in employer contributions for the year, which is $0 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $398,185 in compensation to service provider organisations, $101 per participant or 0.20% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $247,573. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Metropolitan Jewish Health System, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Lincoln National Corporation. Investment advisory or management: Hanys Benefit Services. The financial statements were audited by Forvis Mazars, LLP. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an disclaimer opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. A disclaimer of opinion was the usual result of a limited-scope audit under the rules in force before 2021 and is not by itself a finding about the plan.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 9 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
