Reminder: Summary Annual Reports Due Soon for Calendar Year Plans

Group health plans with 100 or more participants at the start of the plan year must provide a Summary Annual Report (SAR) to each participant. The SAR summarizes information from Form 5500, which is due by July 31 for calendar year plans.

The SAR must be distributed within nine months after the end of the plan year. For calendar year plans that filed Form 5500 for the 2024 plan year by July 31, 2025, the SAR must be furnished by September 30, 2025.

Plans that filed for a Form 5500 extension have additional time. If an extension was filed in 2025 for the 2024 plan year, the SAR deadline is December 15, 2025.
