SunGard’s Relius Education Programs Now Earn Continuing Education Credit for ERPA Designees
SunGard entered in to an agreement with the Office of Professional Responsibility, Internal Revenue Service, to meet the requirements of 31 Code of Federal Regulations, section 10.6(g), covering maintenance of attendance records, retention of program outlines, qualifications of instructors, and length of class hours. This agreement does not constitute an endorsement by the Office of Professional Responsibility regarding the quality of the program or its contribution to the professional competence of the Enrolled Retirement Plan Agent.

SunGard maintains CE sponsorship status with the Joint Board for the Enrollment of Actuaries, ASPPA, IRS Enrolled Agents program, IRS Enrolled Retirement Plan Agents (ERPA) program, NASBA, and HRCI for SHRM professionals. Members of these groups may report CE credit directly to the entities. Pre-approval of programs is not required.

SunGard’s pension seminars and conferences are designed to be acceptable to most other professional organizations for continuing professional education credit, including CFP, the ICB (for CRSP and CFTA), state bar associations, CPA boards, InFRE and PACE. Members governed by these entities may be required to submit the program to them for approval before reporting their CE credit hours. Contact your governing body for details.

Generally, SunGard submits program approval requests for CLE for credit in the states where the programs are conducted. In other states when possible, SunGard will submit for CLE program approval when sponsor-only filing is required and only upon request by an attendee. SunGard needs at least six weeks’ notice prior to the program; credit is subject to approval by the appropriate jurisdiction. Attendees will bear CE approval fees in those jurisdictions imposing per attendee fees.

For CLE in states where sponsor filing is NOT required, attendees themselves are responsible for submitting the program for approval, program approval fees, fees for reporting CE credit hours, and any other associated fees.

Because of the administrative requirements of state insurance accrediting agencies, SunGard is not able to obtain CE approval for insurance professionals.
