Table S-3

PBGC Terminations and Claims (1975-2014)

Single-Employer Program

Claims figures shown in this table are calculated on a plan basis and identified with fiscal year of plan termination for each plan.

The annual numbers of trusteed terminations shown in this table may differ from those reported elsewhere as they reflect the fiscal year of plan termination rather than the 

fiscal year in which the loss was incurred.

Values are subject to change as PBGC completes reviews, establishes termination dates, and determines recoveries.

Due to rounding of individual items, numbers may not add up across columns.

*Trusteed terminations include plans pending trusteeship.

Hybrid plans incorporate elements of both defined benefit and defined contribution plans but are treated as defined benefit plans. They often express benefits in terms of an account balance. The two most 

common types of hybrid plans are Cash Balance Plans and Pension Equity Plans.

Hybrid plans incorporate elements of both defined benefit and defined contribution plans but are treated as defined benefit plans. They often express benefits in terms of an account balance. The two most common types of hybrid 

plans are Cash Balance Plans and Pension Equity Plans. Because most hybrid plans converted from traditional defined benefit plans, not all participants will receive benefits based on the hybrid plan design.

**** The $10 increase in the VRP was provided in The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. The VRP will be indexed in future years.

***** The Retirement Protection Act of 1994 (RPA-94) provided for the phasing out of the cap established with the creation of the variable-rate premium by the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA-87) by June 30, 1996. In 2012, the Moving Ahead For Progress in the 21st Century Act of 2012 (MAP-21) established a new per-participant cap on variable-rate premiums 

beginning at $400 per participant for 2013 and indexed for inflation thereafter.

* Only vested liabilities are used when determining underfunding for variable-rate premium payment purposes. Prior to July 1, 1996, the variable-rate premium was 

capped at various levels. Effective beginning with the 2007 plan year, a cap was imposed on the variable-rate premium for plans of small employers. If all 

contributing sponsors to the plan and their controlled group members have 25 or fewer employees, the per-participant variable-rate premium for that plan will be 

capped at $5.00 times the number of participants in the plan. (The cap for the plan as a whole is effectively $5.00 times the square of the number of plan participants.) 

Effective beginning with the 2008 plan year, an exemption that allowed some underfunded plans to escape payment of the variable-rate premium was eliminated and 

a modification was made to how underfunding is determined for variable-rate premium purposes. Effective with the 2013 plan year, the premium is capped at $400 

per participant.

** Applies to certain distress or involuntary pension plan terminations that occur after 2005. For certain airline-related plans that terminate within five years of 

electing to be covered under special funding rules, the annual termination premium (payable for three years) is $2,500 per participant. 

*** Beginning in 2007 and ending December 31, 2012, this amount was adjusted annually based on changes in the national average wage index (as defined in section 

209(k)(1) of the Social Security Act). The premium rate would not decline even if the national average wage index declined. The adjusted premium rate was rounded 

to the nearest multiple of $1.

twenty years in the future, and the third to benefits expected to be paid more than twenty years in the future.

* Vested liabilities have been adjusted to the PBGC rate that, along with an assumed mortality table, reflects the cost to purchase an annuity at the beginning of the relevant year. The assumed mortality 

table was UP-84 for 1980-1992, GAM-83 for 1993-2006, and the mortality table found in section 1.412(l)(7)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations for 2007 and later. Before plan year 2012, durations of 15.02 and 

5.32 for non-annuitants and annuitant liability, respectively, were used in the calculation. For plan year 2012 these durations were updated. The new values are 14 and 9 for non-annuitants and

(C) Underfunding for plan sponsors with less than investment-grade bond ratings. Underfunding is based on estimated vested benefits.

(D) Estimated total liabilities are based on all plan liabilities, whether vested or not. The same adjustment that is applied to and described in the footnote for the group labeled (A) is applied to this group.

Only (A) and (B) represent the universe of PBGC-insured plans. Firms and plans included in the column (C) totals may differ from year to year.

Underfunding calculated from Internal Revenue Service Form 5500 Series Filings. Vested liabilities have been adjusted to the PBGC rate that, along with an assumed mortality table, reflects 

the cost to purchase an annuity at the beginning of the relevant year. The assumed mortality table was UP-84 for 1980-1992, GAM-83 for 1993-2006, and the mortality table found in section 

1.412(l)(7)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations for 2007 and later. Funding information from PBGC premium filings was used in 2008 whenever Form 5500 data was not available. Vested 

liabilities are used as a proxy for PBGC-guaranteed benefits.

The maximum guarantee shown applies to workers who retire at age 65. PBGC increases the maximum guarantee for people retiring later than age 65 

and reduces it for retirees taking earlier retirement or electing survivor's benefits.

In some instances, where a pension plan has adequate resources or PBGC recovers sufficient amounts, a participant may receive benefits in excess of 

the maximum guarantee.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 provides that if a plan terminates while the sponsor is in a bankruptcy entered into after September 16, 2006, the 

applicable guarantees will generally be those for the year the sponsor entered bankruptcy regardless of the year the plan actually terminates.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) mandates that the maximum guaranteed amounts be adjusted annually based on 

changes in the Social Security contribution and benefit base.

* Vested liabilities have been adjusted to the PBGC rate that, along with an assumed mortality table, reflects the cost to purchase an annuity at the beginning of the relevant year. The assumed mortality 

table was UP-84 for 1980-1992, GAM-83 for 1993-2006, and the mortality table found in section 1.412(l)(7)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations for 2007 and later. Before plan year 2012, durations of 13.27 and 

5.41 for non-annuitants and annuitant liability, respectively, were used in the calculation. For plan year 2012 these durations were updated. The new values are 14 and 8 for non-annuitants and 

annuitants, respectively. As a point of reference the underfunding for 2012 derived using the previous factors would be $553,842.

Vested liabilities have been adjusted to the PBGC rate that, along with an assumed mortality table, reflects the cost to purchase an annuity at the beginning of the relevant year. The 

assumed mortality table was UP-84 for 1980-1992, GAM-83 for 1993-2006, and the mortality table found in section 1.412(l)(7)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations for 2007 and later. Before plan 

year 2012, durations of 13.27 and 5.41 for non-annuitants and annuitant liability, respectively, were used in the calculation. For plan year 2012 these durations were updated. The new 

values are 14 and 8 for non-annuitants and annuitants, respectively. As a point of reference the underfunding for 2012 derived using the previous factors would be $553,842.

* The formula presumes that the workers' monthly benefits are calculated by multiplying the monthly benefit accrual rate (a plan-specified dollar amount) 

 times years of service. If the monthly benefit accrual rate prior to December 22, 2000, was less than $20 per year of service or if the accrual rate 

 after December 21, 2000 is less than $44 per year of service then the maximum benefit guarantee for a participant with 30 years of service will be lower

 than the amounts shown. Note that there is no cap on applicable years of service; 30 years was selected for illustrative purposes only.

** The increased guarantee does not apply to multiemployer plans that received financial aid from PBGC between December 22, 1999, and December 21, 2000.

 The original, lower monthly benefit guarantee continues to apply to participants in these plans.
