On July 9, 2021, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") released interim regulations for multiemployer pension funds seeking Special Financial Assistance ("SFA") under the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”).
While the new legislation was intended to provide sweeping and broad-based relief to multiemployer pension plans like the GCC/IBT National Pension Fund ("NPF"), the PBGC's interpretation of ARPA has created uncertainty in the benefits community. Many multiemployer pension plans, including the NPF, filed critical comments with the PBGC in hopes that the PBGC will amend its interim regulations. The PBGC is expected to issue final regulations in early 2022.
Under the terms of the existing PBGC regulations, the NPF will not be able to apply for the SFA until January 2022. The NPF is projected to become insolvent in May 2022.
The NPF's Board of Trustees, professional advisers and staff continue their review and preparations for filing of the NPF's Application for the Special Financial Assistance while waiting to see if the PBGC changes its interim regulations.
