Guide to Benefit Suspensions Under the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act (PDF) Groom Law Group, via Bloomberg BNA Collective Bargaining Bulletin ![]() [Guidance Overview] Apr. 13, 2015 "Subject to a variety of constraints, including government approval, MPRA provides multiemployer plans that are headed towards insolvency with the option of suspending a portion of participants' accrued benefits.

This article discusses some of the statutory requirements for benefit suspension authority, along with the factors that plan sponsors may consider in deciding whether and how to exercise this authority." |
