Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 6701

A plan, issuer, manager or applicable entity that violates the contract rule, a manager that fails to report, or a plan that fails to give a member the required information, is subject to a civil monetary penalty of $10,000 for each day the violation continues. Knowingly providing false information carries a penalty of up to $100,000 for each item, in addition to other penalties. Section 1128A of the Social Security Act applies to the procedure. Parallel authority is added to section 502(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

What the document actually says

“shall be subject to a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $10,000 for each day during which such violation continues or such information is not disclosed or reported.”

That sentence, in plain words

The penalty is $10,000 for each day. It runs while the breach lasts or while the facts go unreported.

What this is about

A penalty per day pushes toward fixing it fast. False information is treated worse. Each false item can cost up to $100,000.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
