Elliott, Kenneth R. , Moore Jr., James H. (2000, Summer). Cash Balance Pension Plans: The new wave. Compensation and Working Conditions. 3-11.[ PDF document] Retrieved from http://www.bls.gov/opub/…/summer2000art1.pdf

Kenneth R. Elliott is an economist in the Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, Division of Compensation Data Analysis and planning, Bureau of Labor Statistics. James H. Moore, Jr. is and economist in the Office of Research, Evaluation, and Staistics, Division of Policy Evaluation, Social Security Administration.

This article discusses the transition that occurs with a number of larger companies. Which is the adoption to reconstruct pension plans in their company. These companies are changing from the old defined pension plans to the new defined contribution retirement plans. Or finding a mix between the two, which is a cash balance plan. For the longest, pension benefits have been associated with tenure. They have been used to provide retirement income to employees from the employer. However the economists in this article explain the decrease in this idea. Yet they explain the increase in defined contribution plans. Being able to give employees the flexability of building their retirement benefits and determining were their contributions will be invested has seemed to spark interest with employees even at the cost of incurring more risk. Throughout this article Mr. Elliott and Mr. Moore compare and contrast the different types of retirement plans, along with the popularity between the different types and government legeslation involvement. This article would be a great opinion for my research paper because of the competitive outlook that the authors have. I found this article to be very helpful.

    This Statement revises employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by FASB Statements No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. This Statement retains the disclosure requirements contained in FASB Statement No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, which it replaces. It requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. The required information should be provided separately for pension plans and for other postretirement benefit plans.…

    A popular argument in the press and by proposers of either of the above two scenarios is that transitioning to 401(k)s would reduce or eliminate the employer’s defined benefit plan unfunded liability sometime in the future. Assuming the conversion applies to new hires, this “benefit” may not be fully realized for a lifetime. Unfortunately, what may be realized much sooner are significant and very harmful impacts, not the least of which is the upward pressure on salaries due to demands typically spawned by the reduced value of 401(k)s to the individual employee's retirement security. Increased salaries are paid dollar for dollar, as opposed to DB plan increases that vary but are always a far lesser share, 27% being the national average of a pension dollar…

    Retirement is every working persons dream. We all work hard during our working lives and have aspirations for retirement. When our pension’s plans are not properly funded we lose. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 was signed into law by President Gerald Ford on September 2, 1974. The events leading up to ERISA involved the closing of the Studebaker Automobile Company out of South Bend, Indiana. The Studebaker Company had one of the finest pension plans for all 7,000 employees. In 1963 the Studebaker Company shutdown and employees expected the promised benefit pay out. When the time for employee payouts came around the company came to the realization that the pension plan was not adequately funded. The pension plan…

    The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (OTPPB) provides retirement benefits for nearly 200,000 employees. The primary goal for the OTPPB is to “secure and deliver expected benefits at current or lower levels of contribution within an acceptable range of costs.” Indeed, the primary goal seems quite intuitive, but the formalized problem is more complex. The OTPPB, like any institution, holds both assets and liabilities. Therefore, the primary objective can be defined as maximizing the surplus (assets – liabilities) given that contribution rates must remain in some predefined interval for a given level of confidence. Given this objective, it is…

    unfunded public pensions

    • 2020 Words
    • 9 Pages

    An unfunded public pension is an employer managed retirement plan that funds allowance payments as they become necessary. These public pension plans are funded from three different sources: the employee himself, investment returns, and government contributions. Retirement benefits that state employees earn are a part of their compensation, as well as employees’ contributions to cover part of the costs of those benefits. The California Public Employees' Retirement System, otherwise known as the CalPERS, is an agency that manages “retirement, health, and related financial programs and benefits to more than 1.6 million public employees, retirees, and their families and more than 3,000 public employers” (CalPERS 1). The state also makes employer contributions to California Public Employees' Retirement System.…
