Multi-employer pension plans (MEPPs) are pension plans in which two or more unrelated employers participate and contribute to the same pension plan. Often, MEPPs are sponsored by the union that represents the employees of unrelated employers in a specific industry. It can be a defined benefit plan or defined contribution plan — or a combination of both types of plans.
Information concerning MEPPs can be accessed from this page.
