(The shortfall amortization charge for a plan for any plan year is the aggregate total of the shortfall amortization installments in amortizing unfunded liabilities for such plan year with respect to the shortfall amortization bases for the plan year and each of the six preceding plan years. Shortfall amortization installments are the amounts necessary to amortize the shortfall amortization base of the plan for any plan year in level annual installments over the seven-plan-year period beginning with such plan year.)
 
Prescribes a special rule under which the plan sponsor may elect in any two plan years 2008-2011 shortfall amortization installments of: (1) interest on the shortfall amortization base, in the case of the first two plan years in a nine-plan-year period beginning with the applicable plan year; and (2) the amounts necessary to amortize the balance of such shortfall amortization base in level annual installments over the last seven plan years in that nine-plan-year period.

Repeals the requirement that the plan's AFTA percentage for the preceding plan year, if greater, be substituted for the AFTA percentage for the plan year concerned. Replaces it with a requirement that the plan's AFTA percentage for the last plan year ending before September 30, 2009, if greater, be substituted for the AFTA percentage for the plan year concerned.
 
Amends ERISA and the IRC to exclude from the definition of &quot;prohibited (benefit) payments,&quot; by treating as not an excess payment under a single life annuity (plus certain Social Security supplements), any Social Security leveling option payment made on or before December 31, 2011.
 
(Sec. 304) Revises requirements for the reduction of the minimum required contribution (by elected credits for a prefunding balance and a funding standard carryover balance) to a single-employer defined benefit pension plan. Prescribes a special lookback for credit balance rule limiting such a reduction of the minimum required contribution for benefit plans that are less than 80% funded for plan years between June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2011.
 
(Sec. 305) Amends ERISA to require each contributing sponsor, and each member of a contributing sponsor&#146;s controlled group, of a single-employer plan to provide the PBGC information on plan liabilities and assets if either: (1) the funding target attainment percentage at the end of the preceding plan year of a plan is less than 80% (as under current law); or (2) the aggregate unfunded vested benefits of the plan exceed $75 million (disregarding plans with no unfunded vested benefits).
 
(Sec. 306) Allows commercial airline employees who were participants in a tax-exempt defined benefit pension plan of a commercial airline that was terminated or otherwise restricted to transfer to a traditional IRA within a specified time period any amount received from the airline resulting from a bankruptcy proceeding filed after September 11, 2001, and before January 1, 2007.

Part 2: Multiemployer Plans - 
(Sec. 311) Amends ERISA and the IRC relating to minimum funding standards for multiemployer benefit plans.

(Thus allows temporary federal matching for the first week of extended benefits for states with no waiting period.)
 Amends the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 to apply to claims for EUC payments the terms and conditions of state unemployment compensation law relating to availability of work, active search for work, and refusal to accept work. 
 (Sec. 3) Requires a state to determine whether an individual is to be paid EUC or regular compensation for a week of unemployment by using one of four specified methods if: (1) an individual has been determined to be entitled to EUC for a benefit year; (2) that benefit year has expired; and (3) such individual has remaining entitlement to EUC for that benefit year, and would qualify for a new benefit year in which the weekly benefit amount of regular compensation is at least either $100 or 25% less than the individual's weekly benefit amount in such benefit year.
 
(Sec. 4) Declares that federal-state agreements under which the state agency makes EUC payments to certain individuals shall not apply (or shall cease to apply) with respect to a state whose method for computing regular compensation under such state's law has been modified in a manner that reduces the average weekly benefit amount of regular compensation payable on or after June 2, 2010, to less than the average weekly benefit amount of regular compensation otherwise payable under the state law as in effect on such date. (Thus prohibits states from reducing regular compensation in order to be eligible for federal funds under the EUC program.)
 
(Sec. 5) Designates Sec. 2 and Sec. 3 as an emergency in the House of Representatives pursuant to the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 and in the Senate as an emergency requirement.
