Question

Pickwick Production offered employees a defined-benefit retirement plan, in which retirees received benefits calculated on the basis of their age, earnings, and years of service. But the company didn't keep up with technology, and its earnings fell. When the stock market dipped, the company could no longer afford to keep paying for its retirement benefits. What protection will the retirees have in this situation

Answer 1

Even though the company is no longer able to pay the retirees, they are still protected because The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation will pay a basic benefit.

The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation:

• Was created to protect the pensions of millions of Americans
• Provides a basic benefit to pensioners who need pension payments when their companies no longer pay them

The basic benefit is a percentage of the benefits the retirees receive from their normal plan so it is not much. Retirees will often have to supplement this option.

In conclusion, The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation will pay out something to the retirees.
