Note: The Annual Administration fee is billed on a quarterly basis. Shortly after establishing the plan, clients will receive an invoice that will bring the plan current with the quarterly billing cycle.

The full Annual Administration fee applies to the first plan year regardless of when during the year the plan is established.

In the first plan year only, there will be both a Plan Setup fee and an Annual Administration fee.

This fee schedule is subject to change.
