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

Trusteed terminations include plans pending trusteeship.

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. For example, PBGC became responsible for 155 underfunded terminated plans during FY 2012, but only 62 of these plans had termination dates during FY 

2012. The rest had termination dates in earlier fiscal years and are allocated to those years.

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

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.

PBGC's Historic Premium Rates

Single-Employer Program

***** 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. 

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

*** Beginning in 2008, plans were required to use spot segment interest rates published by the IRS for calculating a plan's vested liabilities to determine their variable-rate premiums. The first segment rate applies to 

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

Definitions:

 (A) Underfunding calculated from Internal Revenue Service Form 5500 Series Filings for single-employer plans. 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 were used in 2008 whenever Form 5500 data was not available. Vested liabilities are used as a proxy for PBGC-guaranteed benefits.

 (B) Underfunding data from PBGC premium filings used to calculate the variable-rate premium. Underfunding is based on vested benefits. 

 (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.

See "Underfunding Measures in Table S-47" in the Pension Insurance Data Book 2005, pp 16-23, for a further explanation of these measures.

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 annuitants, respectively. As a point of reference the underfunding for 2012 derived using the previous factors would be $720,178 for subgroup (A) and 

$803,637 for subgroup (D).

* 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 annuitants, respectively.

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. The 2010 and 2011 guarantees are the same as for 2009 

 because the bases did not increase in either year.

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.

* 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 nonannuitants 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.

* 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 did not decline even

if the national average wage index declined. The adjusted premium rate was rounded to the nearest multiple of $1.
