Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation - Annual Pension Insurance Data Book

Annual Pension Insurance Data Book

The PBGC has published the Pension Insurance Data Book since 1996 to present detailed statistics on PBGC's programs, operations, and benefits on single-employer and multi-employer plans. The data book is broken into four main sections; Figures, Single Employer plans, Multiemployer plans, and a research article. The figures section displays all statistics at a glance. Obvious trends are the precipitous decline in the enrollment of employees in defined benefit (DB plans)over the past 20 years and the spike in PBGC deficit during times of recession/defaults. The single employer section gives all data and statics on single employer programs.

  • Section S-3 through S-19 are the claims tables. The show all of the claim brought by single employer DB plans to PBGC.
  • Section S-20 through S-29 are the payment table. These table show how much PBGC is paying out every year in insurance protection.
  • Section S-30 through S-38 are the insured tables. These table show how many participants are insured under the PBGC.
  • Section S-40 through S-44 Premium tables. These table show how much premiums the insured pension plans are paying.
  • Section S-45 though S-52 Show the underfunded Plans, overfunded Plans, and the funding ratios by NAIC business code, state, and participant count.

The multi-employer section, the M sections, follow a similar organization.

The article usually is a research paper or an extended explanation of operations at the PBGC.

    “Time that scatters hair upon a head
    Spreads the ice sheet on the shaven lawn;
    Signing an annual permit for the frost....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In taking out an insurance policy one pays for it in dollars and cents, always at liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, woman’s premium is a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, “until death doth part.””
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    “Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
    —Grace Baruch (20th century)

    “Grief with drenched book and candle christens the cherub time....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
