PBGC Issues in a Troubled Economy
Israel Goldowitz, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, will join the Boston Bar Association in a program on PBGC issues. PBGC often seeks protections for troubled plans. In addition, PBGC also seeks to prevent unwarranted terminations. Once a plan terminates, PBGC recoveries are generally quite limited, so an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. PBGC risk mitigation efforts include early warning cases, 4062(e) cases, funding liens, and funding waivers, and we seek to maximize recoveries when plans terminate in bankruptcy or outside bankruptcy. |
