Congress has passed landmark legislation to protect
the retirement benefits of more than 44 million employees
and retirees under the Pension Protection Act. The White
House is expected to approve the legislation.
The legislation will “help to secure the long-term
financial health of many endangered multiemployer pension
plans whose financial security was jeopardized by the
severe contraction of U.S. equity markets early this
decade,” states the Multiemployer Pension Plan
Coalition in a news release.
“With the new law, the retirement security of
more than 9.7 million Americans participating in multiemployer
pension plans is more stable,” according to the
coalition’s release.
“Multiemployer pension plans are less likely to
default, resulting in severe benefit reductions to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation … The legislation
gives troubled plans a greater opportunity to recover
and provide the benefits expected and deserved by participants.”
