1. Look for official notification
If your employer wants to end the plan, your plan administrator must notify you in writing that your plan is ending. You must get this notice, called the Notice of Intent to Terminate, at least 60 days before the "termination" date.
If PBGC is terminating the plan, we notify the plan administrator and often publish a notice about our action in local and national newspapers.
2. Complete all requests for information promptly
PBGC reviews your plan's records to determine what benefits each person will receive. To ensure PBGC has the correct information, we will ask you to complete an information form.
Please return your information form to PBGC within 30 days of receipt.
3. Review information on benefits information
Review the “Your Guaranteed Pension” brochure included in our first mailing or explore the topics on our website:
Also, review the information on a special webpage we set up for each pension plan we trustee. Find your plan’s page.
4. Look for information meetings held by PBGC
In some cases, PBGC will hold meetings with participants to provide you with information about PBGC and discuss how we will process your benefits.
Meeting announcements will be posted on your plan’s webpage. Find your plan’s page.
