3-C-4 - Multiemployer Plan Mergers and Spinoffs

One solution for troubled multiemployer plans has been to seek a merger with another plan, or the transfer of liabilities to a separate plan. In December 2014, the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act (MPRA) expanded the available options to PBGC-facilitated mergers, including potential "financial assistance." New PBGC regulations must be considered with respect to any merger or transfer, even if not facilitated. The speakers at this session cover the issues and rules related to mergers of and transfers from multiemployer plans under MPRA in comparison to the prior rules.
