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 30 Apr 2025, Laborers' Local 130 Pension Fund covered 620 participants and held $4.1M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Trustees of Laborers' Local 130 Pension Fund of Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $6,579 per participant, well below the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 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 $1.5M for the year ($13,217 per active participant) and benefits paid were $4.3M. 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 8 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $262K: $422 per participant, above the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $302K. 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 $29.1M in 2009 to $4.1M in 2024 (down 86%), and participants from 833 to 620 (down 26%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is Laborers' Local 130 Pension Fund?
620 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Apr 2025, of whom 116 were active employees, with net assets of $4,079,011. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Trustees of Laborers' Local 130 Pension Fund contribute per participant?
The filing reports $1,533,156 in employer contributions for the year, which is $13,217 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $10,758 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 $261,916 in compensation to service provider organisations, $422 per participant or 6.4% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $301,914. 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 Trustees of Laborers' Local 130 Pension Fund. Recordkeeping or administration: Lawrence C Musgrove Associates. Investment advisory or management: Capfinancial Partners, LLC. The financial statements were audited by Alan Ross & Company, PC. 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 May 2024 to 30 Apr 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Feb 2026. 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.
