Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
Puerto Rico Telephone Company, Inc. of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico sponsors Claro Puerto Rico Employees Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 3,183 participants (3,173 active) and $1.5M in net assets.
Net assets came to $461 per participant, well below the $50,295 median for defined contribution plans with 1,000 to 4,999 participants and well below the $67,311 median for defined contribution plans in information. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The filing reports no service provider compensation on Schedule C. That is common where fees are paid by the employer or taken from investment returns, neither of which appears there. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $2,673.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $353K in 2022 to $1.5M in 2024 (up 316%), and participants from 2,650 to 3,183 (up 20%).
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 Claro Puerto Rico Employees Savings Plan?
3,183 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 3,173 were active employees, with net assets of $1,467,351. 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 Puerto Rico Telephone Company, Inc. 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 $2,673. 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 Puerto Rico Telephone Company, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Driven, PSC. 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 15 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.
