United Nations Federal Credit Union Cash Balance Retirement Pension Plan is a cash balance pension plan sponsored by United Nations Federal Credit Union of Long Island, New York. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 850 participants, 575 of them active, and net assets of $144M.
Net assets came to $169,910 per participant, well above the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $119,983 median for defined benefit plans in finance and insurance. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 1 service provider organisation paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $350K: $412 per participant, above the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $370K. 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 $22.5M in 2009 to $144M in 2024 (up 543%), and participants from 376 to 850 (up 126%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $370,167.

The sponsor is United Nations Federal Credit Union. Recordkeeping or administration: CMFG Life Insurance Company. The financial statements were audited by CliftonLarsonAllen, 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 unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
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 3 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.
