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.
Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio sponsors The Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. & Affiliates Defined Benefit Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 30 Jun 2025 shows 597 participants (511 active) and $81.1M in net assets.
Net assets came to $135,818 per participant, well above the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $84,727 median for defined benefit plans in administrative and support and waste management services. 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 $9.1M for the year ($17,808 per active participant) and benefits paid were $9.7M. 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 5 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $137K: $229 per participant, well below the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $619K. 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 $34.0M in 2010 to $81.1M in 2024 (up 138%), and participants from 1,782 to 597 (down 66%).
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.

Questions and answers
How big is The Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. & Affiliates Defined Benefit Pension Plan?
597 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Jun 2025, of whom 511 were active employees, with net assets of $81,083,251. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $9,100,000 in employer contributions for the year, which is $17,808 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 $136,667 in compensation to service provider organisations, $229 per participant or 0.17% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $619,180. 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 Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Pension Corporation of America. Investment advisory or management: Pca Investment Advisory Services. Trustee or custodian: Charles Schwab Trust Bank. The financial statements were audited by Dean Dorton Allen Ford, PLLC. 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 Jul 2024 to 30 Jun 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 31 Mar 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.
