ERIC takes issue with PBGC at-risk plan proposal

The ERISA Industry Committee has taken issue with the PBGC's proposal to apply loading factors to premiums of at-risk plans.

By Paula Aven Gladych | Updated on September 24, 2013

The ERISA Industry Committee supports new regulations proposed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation that would tinker with premium payments, premium rates and reduce regulatory burdens, but is against a provision that would apply loading factors to premiums of at-risk plans.

In a letter to the PBGC, ERIC said it appreciated the efforts of the PBGC and its response to the concerns of plan sponsors.
