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 $29.3M during the year, or $2,636 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,424; participants contributed — and $9,771 arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $42.6M.

What does Joint Board of Trustees of Construction Industry of Rockford, Illinois contribute per participant?
The filing reports $29,264,717 in employer contributions for the year, which is $2,636 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,424 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 $1,026,346 in compensation to service provider organisations, $89.97 per participant or 0.17% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $53.38 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,071,110. 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 Joint Board of Trustees of Construction Industry of Rockford, Illinois. Recordkeeping or administration: Tic Midwest, LLC, Principal Financial Group and Construction Industy Welfare Fund. Investment advisory or management: Dolan McEniry Capital Management and Meketa Group. The financial statements were audited by Calibre CPA Group 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. 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 Nov 2024 to 31 Oct 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 1 Aug 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.
