PBGC Claims by Funded Ratio (1975-2001)
Single-Employer Program
- Funded ratios are generally very low for plans terminating with claims against PBGC.
- More than 60 percent of pension claims came from plans that were less than
50 percent funded (using PBGC assumptions).
- Only $430 million of the $7.7 billion in aggregate claims came from plans
terminating with funded ratios of 75 percent or higher.
