Nationwide recognizes that employers want flexibility and accessibility when choosing a plan administrator. Over the past 12 years, we've developed a national network of preferred plan administrators (PPAs), letting you choose from among the top plan professionals in your geographic area.

From innovative plan design to quality administration, our PPA partners will deliver to you the highest level of service and attention to detail by offering expertise in the following:

• Creating a retirement plan based on your objectives, budget, and overall goals
• Preparing required documents and coordinating filings with appropriate federal agencies
• Introducing the plan to your employees and encouraging their ongoing participation
• Preparing all required government reporting and disclosure documents
• Generating benefit statements and other investment performance updates for plan participants
• Processing loans, benefit payments and other distributions from the plan

Preferred Plan Administrators are independent contractors located throughout the country to provide you local or regional services.
