There are four Status options for a contribution submission:
- “Submission Started" - You have not fully submitted your contribution.
- "Processing" - You have confirmed the submission, but it has not yet been fully processed.
- "Missing" - A contribution is considered missing when it is seven business days past due.
- "Completed" - A contribution has been fully processed.
Select a contribution date from the Transactions list to view more details about a specific submission.
Once a date is selected, you will see the submission details. The details will vary depending on the status of the submission.
Submission Started Status
For contributions that are in a "Submission Started" status, you may Resume, Restart, or Cancel the submission.
The Contribution Details on this view will display the contributing participants and each of their contribution types and amounts for that specific contribution date. The very bottom of the screen also displays the Summary of the imputed contributions.
The Contribution Summary breaks down the data from the file to show the total values of the following:
-
Contributing Employees: Total number of employees contributing to their 401K account
-
Employee Contribution: Total dollar amount of all employee contributions in the submission
-
Company Contribution: Total dollar amount of any Employer contributions such as Employer Match, Profit Sharing, etc. (if applicable)
-
Loan Repayment: Total dollar amount of loan repayments on the contribution submission
Processing - Submission Status
You may cancel a previously processed contribution as long as it is in the Processing status
Contribution Adjustments
From time to time, your contribution has errors that result in a contribution adjustment. If that occurs, you'll be able to see all the contribution adjustments on the detail screen, as shown below.
- In the example below, the contribution file an individual with a missing SSN and another with an improperly formatted SSN.

Missing - Submission Status
If a scheduled pay date is 7 days overdue, its status will be reflected as missing. Select "Start Contribution" if you do still need to process it. If you've processed this contribution as an off-cycle or there are no contributions for that pay date, select "Skip/Remove" to hide this contribution from view.
Delivered - Submission Status
Once the status shows as “Delivered,” you will no longer be able to make any changes. You will be able to view any contribution adjustments that were taken and the contribution details.
