UAW Employees' Pension and Severance Plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by International Union, UAW of Detroit, Michigan. For the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 it reported 528 participants, 51 of them active, and net assets of $88.2M.
Net assets came to $167,016 per participant, well above the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $110,377 median for defined benefit plans in other services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.

528 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 51 were active employees, with net assets of $88,184,682. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does International Union, UAW contribute per participant?
This filing has no Schedule H financial statement, so employer contributions are not reported here.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports no provider compensation for the year. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $1,427. 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 International Union, UAW. 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 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 3 Oct 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.
