PBGC-Insured Plans (1980-2001)
Single-Employer Program
- The total number of single-employer plans insured by PBGC has declined
substantially in the past sixteen years.
- In 2001, PBGC insured about 33,500 single-employer defined benefit plans, down
from an all-time high of 112,000 plans in 1985.
- This decline primarily reflects a large number of terminations among small plans.
