Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Paintmakers Local 1310 Pension Plan covered 223 participants and held $170K in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Trustees of Paintmakers Local 1310 Pension Plan of Mount Laurel, New Jersey. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $764 per participant, well below the $80,635 median for defined benefit plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $100,593 median for defined benefit plans in construction. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Employer contributions were $149K for the year and benefits paid were $629K. In a defined benefit plan the employer's contribution follows funding rules rather than a match formula, so it can swing widely from year to year.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $52K: $234 per participant, well below the same-size median of $451. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $77K. 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 $5.6M in 2009 to $170K in 2024 (down 97%), and participants from 338 to 223 (down 34%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
