Seyfarth Synopsis:  Contributing employers to multiemployer pension plans have seen some big developments in July.  The PBGC released its new Final Rule on Special Financial Assistance on July 8, 2022, which will help financially troubled plans avoid insolvency, but will now also subject contributing employers to higher withdrawal liability

On December 11th, over on our ERISA & Employee Benefits blog, Seyfarth labor partner Ron Kramer analyzed the proposed “Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014” (“MPRA”).

We can now report that President Obama enacted this legislation on Tuesday, December 16th as part of the $1.1 trillion spending bill for 2015.
