The PBGC reports the multiemployer fund is $58.8 billion short of cash to cover benefits, with about $2 billion in assets and a projected runout by 2025. Congress faces pressure to raise premiums, amid Treasury's rejection of benefit cuts for Central States Pension Fund. Up to 1.5 million of 10 million covered plan participants face potential shortfalls in coming decades.
