Acknowledge Distributing Your 2025 Group SPDs and SMMs Now

March 1 was the deadline to distribute 2025 NRECA Group Benefits Program summary plan description (SPD) and summary of material modifications (SMM) documents. The final step in the process is to complete online distribution acknowledgements by March 15.

Acknowledgements are important because they create a written record that you complied with the legal requirement to provide SPDs and SMMs. The record may also be important if you need to verify that someone received a required document (or verify the method of delivery).

If your plan(s) have outstanding acknowledgements, you’ll find them on the Group Plan Documents page of the Employee Benefits website. Look for the header titled “Documents Requiring Acknowledgement.” Use the online Acknowledgement Steps as a guide or watch the Distribution Acknowledgement Tutorial located on the Employee Benefits website in the Compliance subsection under Webinars & Videos.

If you have questions as you acknowledge distributing your documents, contact the group compliance team at 866.673.2299, option 7, or email us at group.compliance@nreca.coop.
