PBGC: Hurricane Harvey Disaster Relief

You are subscribed to Practitioners - What's New for Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). PBGC has recently posted the following update to the What's New for Practitioners webpage:

Hurricane Harvey response: In response to severe storms and flooding from Hurricane Harvey in Texas, PBGC is waiving late premium payment penalties and extending certain other deadlines for affected plans.  PBGC posted a Disaster Relief Announcement explaining which plans are eligible, the exact nature of the disaster relief, how to claim the relief, etc. If PBGC posts additional Disaster Relief Announcements for other areas, e.g. Louisiana, we will post them on our Disaster Relief Announcements webpage.

In addition to posting this information for plan practitioners, PBGC has created a Hurricane Harvey webpage for individuals in the affected areas who receive their pension payments from PBGC.  (August 30, 2017)

Additional information for practitioners is available on our Employers & Practitioners webpage.
