The Small Account Problem
For plan sponsors, the small accounts left behind by terminated participants pose administrative headaches that, if left unchecked, can lead to serious problems.
As the illustration shows, small account problems work like an interlocking puzzle to drive:
- Plan administration issues, including:
- Increased plan expense
- Lost or missing participants
- Uncashed checks
- Increased risk of plan audits
- Financial wellness issues for plan participants, including:
- Higher levels of cash out leakage
- Lost earnings and excess fees
RCH Portability Services Solve the Small Account Problem
Fortunately for plan sponsors, Retirement Clearinghouse offers solutions that minimize the small account problem, by addressing its root causes.
