PBGC deficit causes concern on Capitol Hill

Article Abstract:

Both the Democrats and the Republicans believe that the pension underfunding difficulties of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp (PBGC) should be resolved. PBGC's deficit has substantially increased from $1 billion to $2.5 billion in two years. The underfunding has also prompted the House of Representatives to impose a provision requiring PBGCto provide the Congress with an annual list of all employers with substantial unfunded pension liabilities. The PBGC is also implementing some changes proposed by the Government Accounting Office.
