The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $3.8M during the year, or $1,210 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed —. Benefits paid out totalled $8.7M.

What does Board of Trustees Bac Local 3 NY Individual Account Retirement Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $3,806,531 in employer contributions for the year, which is $1,210 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 $456,423 in compensation to service provider organisations, $130 per participant or 0.46% 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 $346,555. 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 Board of Trustees Bac Local 3 NY Individual Account Retirement Fund. Recordkeeping or administration: Empower Life & Annuity Insurance. Investment advisory or management: Morgan Stanley. The financial statements were audited by Bonadio & Co., 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. 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 26 Sep 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.
