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.
In the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025, Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council Supplemental Retirement Plan covered 37,703 participants and held $2.02B in net assets. The plan is a profit-sharing plan sponsored by Board of Trustees of Mid-America Carp Reg Council Supplemental Retirem of Chicago, Illinois. It is a multiemployer plan, maintained under collective bargaining agreements with more than one employer.
Net assets came to $53,632 per participant, below the $62,774 median for defined contribution plans with 25,000 or more participants and close to the $54,962 median for defined contribution plans in construction. 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 $177M during the year, or $10,810 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,417; participants contributed — and $1.9M arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $171M.
Schedule C lists 7 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $2.5M: $65.26 per participant, well above the same-size median of $36.41. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $2.6M. 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 $408M in 2010 to $2.02B in 2024 (up 395%), and participants from 45,128 to 37,703 (down 16%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified).

Questions and answers
How big is Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council Supplemental Retirement Plan?
37,703 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025, of whom 16,383 were active employees, with net assets of $2,022,068,612. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 25,000 or more participants band, which held 608 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Board of Trustees of Mid-America Carp Reg Council Supplemental Retirem contribute per participant?
The filing reports $177,106,546 in employer contributions for the year, which is $10,810 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,417 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 $2,460,391 in compensation to service provider organisations, $65.26 per participant or 0.12% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $36.41 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $2,578,421. 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 Board of Trustees of Mid-America Carp Reg Council Supplemental Retirem. Recordkeeping or administration: Macrc Benefit Fund Office LLC, John Hancock Retirement Plan Servic and Bridgeway Benefit Technologies. Investment advisory or management: Segal Marco Advisors and Alan Biller and Associates, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by Legacy Professionals 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. 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 4 Mar 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.
