Eya Tax-Sheltered 403(b) Plan is a 403(b) plan sponsored by Eckerd Youth Alternatives, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida. For the plan year ending 30 Jun 2025 it reported 3,270 participants, 1,862 of them active, and net assets of $42.4M.
Net assets came to $12,957 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well below the $40,686 median for defined contribution 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.
The employer contributed $2.8M during the year, or $1,523 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $5.3M and $547K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $5.8M.
Schedule C lists 5 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $447K: $137 per participant, well above the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $441K. 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 $11.2M in 2011 to $42.4M in 2024 (up 279%), and participants from 536 to 3,270 (up 510%).
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 Eya Tax-Sheltered 403(b) Plan?
3,270 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Jun 2025, of whom 1,862 were active employees, with net assets of $42,369,954. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 1,000 to 4,999 participants band, which held 10,207 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Eckerd Youth Alternatives, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $2,835,296 in employer contributions for the year, which is $1,523 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,045 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 $446,653 in compensation to service provider organisations, $137 per participant or 1.1% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $82.08 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $440,857. 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 Eckerd Youth Alternatives, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Florida Retirement Consultants, Empower Annuity Ins Co. and Principal Life Ins Co.. Investment advisory or management: Empower Annuity Ins Co., Kestra Advisory Services LLC and Variable Annuity Life Insurance Co.. Trustee or custodian: Variable Annuity Life Insurance Co.. The financial statements were audited by CBIZ CPAS P.C.. 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 10 Apr 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.
