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.

“Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.”
