Multiemployer Pension Plans
Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Issue: The long-term stability of multiemployer-defined benefit pension plans is uncertain. Recent proposals from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation could increase withdrawal liability
Why It Matters: Beer distributors who participate in these pension plans are committed to meeting their contribution responsibilities. While some of the most troubled plans have been temporarily stabilized after receiving Special Financial Assistance, further action is needed to ensure long-term stability
We Encourage Congress To:
Address withdrawal and partial withdrawal liability, including requirements that could harm small businesses.
