Pension reform could ease funding for workers and firms
House action this week may advance a bill by Rob Portman and Ben Cardin to shift pension rules. It would raise tax deferred retirement options, lower employer funding for defined benefits, move from 30-year Treasuries to high quality corporate bonds for valuation, and raise IRA and 401k contribution limits while delaying RMD age to 75. The plan faces Senate hurdles amid budget deficit concerns and Enron fallout.
