Distributions

 

Presenter: Mark Reasoner
Session Description:

They happen because of Terminations, Hardships, Retirements, and many other reasons. Basically, a participant has the right to take their money out of the plan, provided certain requirements are met. Distributions might not be a welcomed part of plan administration, but they are a necessary one. Relius makes it easy, though, as once the options are set up and the requirements set, processing can be quick and efficient. Relius can even do just about everything involved from one place: from the status update, to forfeiting the non-vested balance, to calculating withholding for Form 1099, to the needed paperwork. All this even works if the distribution is for some reason other than termination.

Membership Information
 

The objective of the Great Lakes Users Group is to help provide our members with the most up-to-date information concerning the Relius administration system and other products / services offered by FIS. The group is able to provide members with advance previews of forthcoming FIS software releases, a low cost training option for your employees and a direct voice to FIS for input on future software enhancements and other concerns that are impacting your business.
The annual dues are $95 per organization. The dues are to help provide a minimal cash reserve for various group purposes, primarily to help cover any meeting cost overruns and most importantly to help pay for any expenses associated with guest speakers at the meetings. We try to have FIS personnel at all meetings we hold because of the value they bring to the table.

Meeting costs for non-training sessions are $100 per attendee of member firms ($150 for non-member firms). Meeting costs for training sessions will be determined based on the number of days and topics involved.)

Advantages of being a group member include:

  • Advance registration for group meetings and training sessions
  • Discounted meeting registration fees
  • Custom Relius / GLUG webinar; available to members only
  • Minutes / meeting notes from group meetings
  • Networking access to other group members and FIS staff who attend the meetings

Over the years there have been many group members who call one another to discuss common problems and issues relating to the use of Relius. Members are generally very comfortable with helping one another.

If you are interested in joining the Great Lakes User Group, please call Bill Cardiff at 414-906-2941.
