Notes:

  1. The liability for terminated plans has been increased by $65 million for settlements.

  2. The Rettig Settlement refers to the liability for benefits that PBGC incurred due to the settlement of a class action lawsuit that increased benefits for some participants and provided new benefits to others. The remaining participants not yet paid are valued seriatim.

  3. The Missing Participants Program refers to a liability that PBGC assumed for unlocated participants in standard plan terminations.

  4. The net claims for probable plans reported in the financial statements include $431 million for not-yet-identified probable terminations. The assets for these probable plans, including the expected value of recoveries on employer liability and due-and-unpaid employer contributions claims, are $14,027 million. Thus, the net claims for probables as reported in the financial statements are $30,953 million less $14,027 million, or $16,926 million.

  5. The PVFB in the financial statements ($60,836 million) is net of estimated plan assets and recoveries on probables ($14,027 million), estimated recoveries on terminated plans ($364 million), and estimated assets for plans pending trusteeship ($678 million), or, $75,905 million less $14,027 million less $364 million less $678 million = $60,836 million.
