LVPay

Comprehensive Benefit Payment System

LVPay is a complete payment processing system, capable of handling all trustee fiduciary duties pertaining to plan distributions for both defined benefit and defined contribution plans as well as all types of annuity payments, including those from terminated qualified plans.

In addition to processing immediate payments, terminated participants entitled to future benefits can be tracked and flagged when eligible for retirement. LVPay enables the user to send notification letters regarding their eligibility for benefits, process early retirement and optional benefit amounts, and election forms. The system also updates cash balance accounts and employee contribution accounts to reflect interest credits and determine benefit amounts based on the greater of the cash balance account and a traditional formula.

Automatic adjustment for QDROs, liens, garnishments, medical/dental/life insurance premiums, retiree or beneficiary deaths, union dues, COLAs, Federal taxes, FICA taxes for nonqualified plans, state taxes, and county/city taxes, if applicable, or Canadian taxes when determining net benefits.

LVPay can be integrated with LVAdmin or used independently by importing benefits and other retiree data from any source.
