Ekon Benefits – the new identity for QBC, Inc./The401kStore.
Qualified Benefits Consultants, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary The401kStore is now known as Ekon Benefits. The name Ekon Benefits was decided upon to unify our service lines under a common name and message. Ekon, meaning trust in Polish, speaks to our founder’s ancestry, as well as our goal of being your trusted partner for your retirement plan administration and consulting.
Note that the change in name and logo is simply a rebranding of the previous entities. There has been no change in the ownership or corporate structure and we will continue to provide the quality service that you have come to expect.
New Requirements for your 2009 Form 5500 - EFAST 2
Starting in 2009, the DOL is requiring that all 5500 filings be electronically filed and signed through a program called EFAST 2. Ekon Benefits has developed a program aimed at simplifying the filing process. Using the Ekon Benefits 5500 Signature Portal, we can assist in preventing filing errors and help track the status of your 5500.
