Ford To Sign Measure Soon Pension Reform Gets Final Approval
The Senate approved the pension reform bill 85 to 0 and the House 407 to 2. Ford plans to sign after a suitable ceremony. The measure protects 35 to 40 million plan members, adds tax incentives for self employed and workers to create plans, and aims to improve vesting and access to promised benefits. Critics say it falls short by not forcing firms to establish plans or raise payments.
