What the agency says
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is proposing to improve its rules on recoupment of benefit overpayments under PBGC's insurance program for single-employer terminated plans trusteed by PBGC. These proposed improvements include changing the recoupment methodology to a flat rate of 5 percent of a participant's monthly benefit and eliminating recoupment from a participant's surviving beneficiary.
