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 $42.0M during the year, or $6,942 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,424; participants contributed $44.1M and $5.2M arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $53.3M.

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 Mutual of Omaha 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan?
7,166 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 6,050 were active employees, with net assets of $1,017,450,258. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 5,000 to 24,999 participants band, which held 2,605 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company contribute per participant?
The filing reports $41,996,898 in employer contributions for the year, which is $6,942 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 $548,188 in compensation to service provider organisations, $76.50 per participant or 0.05% 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 $110,021. 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 Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company. Recordkeeping or administration: Ascensus LLC. Trustee or custodian: Matrix Financial Solutions. The financial statements were audited by Eide Bailly LLP. 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 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 10 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.
