Instructions for Certain Line Items Item 4 The term “authoritative body” includes a court of law, a duly constituted licensing or accreditation authority, a federal or state agency, board, commission, hearing examiner, administrative law judge, or other official administrative authority. When responding about the action of an authoritative body, attach a statement specifying (as applicable) the name and address of the authoritative body, the date of the body's action, the nature of the finding, and the type and duration of discipline imposed. Item 4A See section 901.31(c)(2)-(4) for a more detailed description of the circumstances that require you to answer “Yes” to item 4A. In addition, under section 901.12(f)(3), an actuary may also be suspended or terminated from enrollment if the Joint Board finds that the actuary submitted false or misleading information on an application for enrollment to perform actuarial services or in any oral or written information submitted in connection therewith or in any report presenting actuarial information to any person, knowing the same to be false or misleading. Item 4B Under section 901.12(f)(2), the enrollment of an actuary may be suspended or terminated if the actuary has been convicted of any of the offenses (for example, robbery, bribery, extortion, embezzlement, fraud, murder, rape, perjury) referred to in section 411 of ERISA. See ERISA section 411 (i.e., Section 1111 of Title 29, U.S. Code) for a more detailed list of applicable offenses. Item 4C Under section 901.31(c), the enrollment of an actuary may be suspended or terminated if the Joint Board finds that the actuary, during the period after applying for enrollment, has engaged in disreputable conduct. Answer “Yes” to item 4C if, since the issuance or latest renewal of your enrollment, you failed to timely file a required federal tax return or pay a federal tax for yourself, a client or prospective client, or an authoritative body issued a finding that you evaded any federal tax or payment for yourself, a client or prospective client. Also answer “Yes” to item 4C if, since the issuance or latest renewal of your enrollment, you were disbarred or suspended from practice as an actuary or an authoritative body issued a finding that you engaged in any of the types of conduct described in section 901.12(f)(1), including: i. Conduct evidencing fraud, dishonesty, or breach of trust. ii. Knowingly giving false or misleading information to the Department of the Treasury, Department of Labor, or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. iii. Attempting to influence the action of the Department of the Treasury, Department of Labor, or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation by coercion or inducement. iv. Using abusive language, making false accusations and statements knowing them to be false, or circulating or publishing malicious or libelous matter in connection with matters before the Department of the Treasury, Department of Labor, or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. See section 901.12(f)(1) for a more detailed description of the circumstances that require you to answer “Yes” to item 4C. If you failed to timely file a required federal tax return or pay a federal tax, specify the type of return, the taxable period covered by the return, and the type and amount of any penalties imposed in your attachment to item 4C. If an authoritative body issued a finding that you evaded any federal tax or payment, please explain and provide a copy of the finding. Note, as part of the application process, we may check your federal tax history to verify that you have timely filed and paid your federal taxes. The term “disreputable conduct” is not limited to the items described above. An example of a circumstance when the Joint Board would investigate to determine whether an enrolled actuary’s conduct was disreputable beyond the conduct specifically listed in section 901.12(f)(1) is when an individual has been disciplined for cheating on an examination. Another example is when an individual has been disciplined for violating professional standards of an actuarial organization or other profession. Item 4D See sections 901.31(b) and 901.31(c)(5) for a more detailed description of the circumstances that require you to answer “Yes” to item 4D.
