According to the new site (http://ogesdw.dol.gov/index.php), EBSA has posted closed cases that resulted in a penalty assessment under the Deficient Filer program, the Late Filer program, and the Non-Filer program, beginning with FY2009. The agency is responsible for ensuring that plans file their annual Form 5500 timely, completely, and accurately through the enforcement programs as well as a voluntary compliance effort.

EBSA said the information will be updated quarterly.
