Text of PBGC FY 2017 Projections Report (PDF)

54 pages. "This year's projections for PBGC's Multiemployer Program show a very high likelihood of insolvency during FY 2025 and near certainty of insolvency by the end of FY 2026. Compared to last year's projections, the risk of insolvency decreases slightly prior to fiscal year 2024 but increases significantly starting in fiscal year 2025. These changes are primarily the result of the largest troubled plan transitioning to a 100% fixed-income portfolio, which eliminates most of the uncertainty of the timing of its projected insolvency date and thus eliminates most of the uncertainty about when the plan will require PBGC financial assistance....

"New results for PBGC's Single-Employer Program are generally consistent with findings of the prior year's report but the financial status of the program is likely to improve faster and reach a higher net surplus position compared to the projections from last year. Recent increases in asset returns and decreases in expected future claims increase the likelihood that the program will reach net surplus a few years earlier than previously projected."

PBGC Projections: Multiemployer Program Insolvent in FY 2025

"The [PBGC's] Multiemployer Insurance Program continues to face insolvency by the end of fiscal year 2025, according to findings in the FY 2017 Projections Report .... The likelihood that the Multiemployer Program will run out of money before the end of FY 2025 has grown to over 90 percent, and there remains a significant chance the program will run out of money during FY 2024. The likelihood the program will remain solvent after FY 2026 is now less than 1 percent.... PBGC's Single-Employer Program, which covers about 28 million participants, continues to improve and is likely to emerge from deficit sooner than previously anticipated."
