Document Excerpt

PBGC will provide relief to certain plans that used the alternative premium funding target to determine the variable-rate premium, but did not check the appropriate box on the comprehensive premium filing. As explained in a June 7 letter to the leadership of the Senate HELP and Finance Committees (PBGC’s two Senate committees of jurisdiction), a plan that intended to elect to use the alternative premium funding target will be deemed to have made a valid election if certain conditions are met (see also May 20 letter from the Senate committees). PBGC will issue a Technical Update shortly setting forth the scope of the relief and the process for obtaining it. (06/08/10)
