PBGC has recently posted the following update to the What's New for Practitioners Web page: PBGC Releases Data Book: The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation today released its annual update on pension data. The Data Book covers information recently reported by pension plans and the PBGC and compares it to values for prior years. Generally, the update covers pension plan data for the year beginning in 2014 with some later data as well. The Data Book tables provide researchers, journalists and others interested in the federal pension insurance program easily accessible, detailed statistics for the single-employer and multiemployer plans that PBGC insures. This update presents information on a range of topics including: Number of people and plans that PBGC protects Number of people receiving or eligible to receive benefits from PBGC Benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries Claims against PBGC Funding status of PBGC-protected plans Analysis of populations that PBGC protects by industry, state, and other statistics A new multiemployer table added this year includes time series data on participants in plans by zone status as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 through 2013. Additional data on zone status for prior years was issued as a multiemployer graphical supplement in April. Zone status refers to multiemployer plan statuses as defined under the Pension Protection Act, which describe the financial condition of multiemployer plans, which range from critical status (i.e. red zone), through seriously endangered (orange zone), endangered (yellow zone) and other (green zone).
