Multiple Employer 401(K) Plan (MiMEP)

How's your 401(k) performing?

MI Chamber members with 10–150 employees can participate in the Michigan Chamber multiple employer 401(k) Plan (MiMEP). For small- to medium-sized business owners looking to attract and retain quality employees, this resource can make a real difference and provide a competitive advantage – all while helping boost financial stability for your workforce.

FAST FACTS

By participating in the MiMEP, exclusive to MI Chamber members, small businesses can offer all the benefits a large company can at a competitive price. With new regulations set by the Department of Labor, employers with commonalities can now band together and have their 401(k) plans treated as a single retirement plan.

Save money by joining the MiMEP. Avoid taking on the costs and administrative challenges of establishing a standalone retirement plan. Employers who participate in the MiMEP have full access to the same low-cost investment funds that large employees can offer.
