( Formerly the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Supplemental Retirement & Disability Fund )
The Board of Trustees of the GCC/IBT National Pension Fund's ("NPF") is pleased to announce that on April 27, 2022, the PBGC approved the NPF's Application for Special Financial Assistance ("SFA") under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”). The NPF received the funds from the government in May thereby eliminating the threat of insolvency. Regulations that went into effect August 8, 2022 allowed the NPF to file a supplemented application for an additional SFA allocation which is expected to be received in January.
ARPA has provided sweeping financial relief to multiemployer pension plans like the NPF so as to ensure that these pension funds can continue to pay full benefits to hard working plan participants well into the future.
