Each answer below was read from FCE's own pages on September 24, 2026, and says who published it.

Note what this page does not say. Every row above is sourced to FCE's own pages, and where FCE publishes no figure — a client count, a market position — this page carries none either, rather than filling the gap with a superlative. The 1988 founding and the 30-years figure are the company's own, stated on its own history page and dated.

Why the category is hard to search

A prime contractor does not shop for a benefits administrator until an audit or a bid makes the fringe rate someone's problem, and then the question is narrow: can this firm carry SCA or AbilityOne compliance, and has it done it long enough to have seen a Department of Labor audit. Search answers that with contractor-marketing blogs, because compliance specialists do not publish much and the firms that do publish are selling software.

The facts that answer the real question are above: what the firm administers, under which statutes and programs, for how long, and who says so.

AuthorityTech is FCE Benefits' earned-media agency. That relationship is why this page exists and why every figure above carries the date it was read.
