Premium Filings

New My PAA Login Method Now Available

The way you login to My PAA has changed to satisfy new federal requirements for public-facing websites (e.g., two-factor authentication will be required).

To implement the required changes, PBGC partnered with Login.gov, a secure sign in service owned and operated by the U.S. General Services Administration. This will enable you to use the same email and password to login to My PAA and any other participating government services, such as Social Security and TSA Pre-check.

For details and additional information, see Login.gov FAQs.

Late Payment Charges

Late payment charges arise when you pay some, or all, of the premium owed after the due date. Late charges include both interest and penalty. The current rules for late payment changes apply to late premium payments for plan years beginning in 2016 or later. Different rules apply for earlier plan years.

The “Late Payment Charges” section of each year’s Comprehensive Premium Filing Instructions provides detailed information about late charges that apply with respect to that year (e.g., how interest and penalties are determined, automatic penalty waivers, how to request a penalty waiver).  Instructions for the current and prior years are available on the Premium Filing Payment and Instruction webpage.

Business Codes

One of the data items required to be reported in a premium filing is the business codes that best describes the nature of the plan sponsor's business (or main business activity of the employers and/or employee organizations if more than one employer or employee organization is involved). The applicable Business Codes for each year beginning with 2014 can be found here.
