HELP YOURSELF STAND OUT Branding yourself with a non profit organization will be the differentiator between you and other financial professionals within your community 3% Have a written financial plan 97% of Americans are failing to plan 2019 | The Society for Financial Awareness

  4. ERISA 404c Requirement - Department of Labor Compliance Companies offering benefits to 50 or more employees must provide ongoing, generic financial education to their employees. SOFA fulfills this need for Human Resources. Serve the obligations of HR with our no-cost solution to educating their group & satisfying compliance Do you see how the SOFA approach of no selling or products mentioned allows you to gain access easily When trying to gain access into any desired big name company, what leverage do you have Our meaningful content satisfies ERISA 404c A common misconception of the ERISA 404c Requirement is that having a 401k provider come in and talk about product specific information satisfies ERISA 404c, but it does not. The regulation states that employees must be given “generic” financial education at least once per year. When a third party administrator comes in, speaking on their “proprietary” funds, 404c is not being satisfied. 2019 | The Society for Financial Awareness
