Pensions
Harvey asked:


If General Motors continues to slip what will happen to all of their retirees? Will they simply be “out of luck” if GM continues to fail? I’m just curious because I’m from MI and I know a lot of GM retirees. Thanks in advance!

  3. Steve’s right…but if GM goes under and the pension plan is fully funded, or funded above the amount that the PBGC would guarantee, then the larger amount would be paid. Recent tax law changes required that companies work towards a fully funded status to prevent the risk from falling onto the PBGC and the government.
