IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0The organization and its supported organization, American Benefits Council, have a common purpose to advance knowledge about the employer-sponsored health and retirement employee benefits system and have a historic and continuous relationship with one another since the organization was first established.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1The supported organization, American Benefits Council, receives membership dues from a broad national base and it does not exceed the 509(a)(2)one-third investment income limitation. The supported organization has completed the Schedule A, Part III calculation to validate this status and retains that calculation in its records.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt2The supported organization received an IRS determination letter confirming that it is qualified under Section 501(c)(6). The supported organization performed the 509 (a)(2) calculation and it meets the 33-1/3 public support test and also receives no more than 33-1/3 of its support from gross investment income and unrelated business income.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt3The organization monitors satisfaction with this requirement by the supported organization through regular communication between the two organizations.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt4The organization provided support to another employee benefits membership organization in connection with the supported organizations co-sponsorship of an employee benefits symposium to which the public was invited at no charge. The organization also provided scholarships to enable individuals to participat in an educational conference regarding employee benefits for which the supported organization was an active partner; thereby serving the educational missions of both the supporting organization and the supported organization.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt5The President of the organization, who also serves on the board of the organization, is the same individual who serves as President and ex-officio board member of the supported organization and has management, but not control, of both organizations.
