Capitol Hill Briefing—Multiemployer Pension Plans: Potential Paths Forward 
June 27, 2017
430 Dirksen Senate Office Building
1-2 p.m. EDT

Of the more than 10 million people who participate in multiemployer pension plans, approximately 1 million are in plans that are currently projected to be unable to pay the full benefits that have been promised.

Workers in industries such as retail, service, construction, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and entertainment who are covered by these collectively bargained plans may be impacted. Viable solutions are scarce and time is of the essence.

Join the American Academy of Actuaries for a briefing that will provide an objective overview of the fragile state and future security of the multiemployer pension system. The Academy will release an issue brief in advance of the briefing, and speakers—actuaries with deep expertise in multiemployer, single-employer, and public pension plan issues—will discuss ideas from the brief about how to address failing multiemployer plans and strengthen the multiemployer pension system moving forward.

Lunch will be available, and advance registration is recommended.

Speakers:

  • Bill Hallmark MAAA, ASA, EA, FCA - Vice President, Pension Practice Council
  • Josh Shapiro MAAA, FSA, EA, FCA – Vice Chairperson, Pension Practice Council
  • Christian Benjaminson MAAA, FSA, EA, FCA  – Member, Multiemployer Subcommittee
Moderator: 
  • Ted Goldman MAAA, FSA, FCA - Senior Pension Fellow
