Relius Government Forms 5500 Web Client

Recent regulatory changes have mandated electronic filing for all Form 5500s made under Title 1 of ERISA, beginning January 2010. The EFAST2 system is a "collaborative initiative" between multiple agencies, including DOL, IRS, and PBGC, and presents several challenges to you and your clients. Modifying your existing procedures and routines in order to meet these new filing requirements and helping your clients understand how to collaborate with you electronically -- obtaining and maintaining their e-filing credentials (signature IDs and PINs) and filing electronically via the Web – will be essential to meeting these new requirements.

SunGard’s Relius Government Forms 5500 Web Client is a secure, interactive, online solution that can help you and your clients meet these challenges. Give your clients an efficient and easy way to gather all necessary information and electronically file their 5500 forms and schedules.

Now is the time for you to prepare your staff and clients for these upcoming changes and move towards e-filing.
