Defined benefit pension plans promise to pay a specified monthly benefit at retirement, commonly based on salary and years on the job. PBGC is not funded by general tax revenues. PBGC collects insurance premiums from employers that sponsor insured pension plans, earns money from investments and receives funds from pension plans it takes over. PBGC pays monthly retirement benefits, up to a guaranteed maximum, to about 518,000 retirees in 3,479 pension plans that ended. Including those who have not yet retired and participants in multiemployer plans receiving financial assistance, PBGC is responsible for the current and future pensions of about 1,061,000 people. PBGC's Two Pension Insurance Programs - The single employer program protects 34.6 million workers and retirees in 29,651 pension plans. The multiemployer program protects 9.8 million workers and retirees in 1,587 pension plans. Multiemployer plans are set up by collectively bargained agreements involving more than one unrelated employer, generally in one industry.” This incredible DVD-ROM is packed with over 117,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Macintosh systems.
