What it does

The actor searches the public US Department of Labor EFAST2 Form 5500 filings index, applies the filters you pass as input, and writes one normalized record per filing to the run's dataset. Plan characteristic codes are decoded into readable labels and boolean feature flags (is401kPlan, isEsop, hasAutomaticEnrollment, offersHealthBenefits), participant and asset changes are computed year over year, and each record links to the source filing PDF. Missing source values are returned as null.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 3 most recent Google benefit plan filings.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per filing returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• AI add-on. withAiSummary is billed separately per successfully processed record and requires a paid Apify plan. It is skipped for free users.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors or matches nothing, the actor writes a single item with an error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 filings per run. Upgrade for higher maxFilings.
• Source query ceiling. A single source query returns at most 10,000 filings. For larger universes, split the work with narrower filters or year ranges.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 records. Why? The filter combination matched nothing in the EFAST2 index. Loosen filters (for example widen the year range or drop the NAICS sector), or check the employer name spelling. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Is this an official DOL tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the US Department of Labor or EFAST2. It reads only publicly available Form 5500 filing data. Use the results in accordance with the source's terms.
