International Longshoremen's Association, AFL-CIO South East Florida Ports Defined Contribution Plan is a 401(k) plan sponsored by International Longshoremen's Association of Hollywood, Florida. For the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025 it reported 2,466 participants, 2,401 of them active, and net assets of $68.5M. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $27,760 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and below the $32,883 median for defined contribution plans in transportation and warehousing. 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 $16.2M during the year, or $6,760 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,045; participants contributed $2.6M. Benefits paid out totalled $2.7M.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $282K: $115 per participant, well above the same-size median of $82.08. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $554K. 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 $10.3M in 2009 to $68.5M in 2024 (up 561%), and participants from 2,068 to 2,466 (up 19%).

Questions and answers
How big is International Longshoremen's Association, AFL-CIO South East Florida Ports Defined Contribution Plan?
2,466 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025, of whom 2,401 were active employees, with net assets of $68,456,412. 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 International Longshoremen's Association contribute per participant?
The filing reports $16,231,547 in employer contributions for the year, which is $6,760 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 $282,480 in compensation to service provider organisations, $115 per participant or 0.41% 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 $554,359. 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 Longshoremen's Association. Recordkeeping or administration: John Hancock Life Insurance Company. The financial statements were audited by Arty Cohn & Feuer LC. 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 Oct 2024 to 30 Sep 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 15 Jul 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.
