Supreme Court rules pensions must be gender neutral
The ruling targets unequal pension payments in employer plans with the greatest effect in the public sector and universities. Experts say many private plans already use unisex benefit formulas and 13 states still allow gender based reductions. The decision accelerates moves toward gender equality, though critics call it a limited change.

Supreme Court ruling affects public sector pension plans on sex pay equity
The decision could alter benefits for 26.1 million Americans with $165.8 billion in reserves, with 1 million to 3 million women receiving different benefits. It will raise some women's benefits and possibly increase payments for both sexes, but not retroactive for pre Aug 1 contributions. Industry and lawmakers weigh future legislation and retroactive changes.
