Retirement Benefits Denied Attorneys
More and more these days as employees near retirement age, they are handed a nasty shock: their pension benefits, which they desperately need, are being cut back or denied altogether. The number of private benefit plans declined from 170,000 in 1965 to 53,000 in 1997. Today, the first of that huge population bump known as the baby boomers are turning 60, and there are valid fears that the Social Security system won't be able to meet its obligations. There has also been increasing concern about companies deliberately under-funding their pension plans, then pushing their obligation off to public sources. Bradley Belt is the executive director of the PBGC (the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.) This federal agency's purpose is to insure private pension plans in case the company goes bankrupt. However, Belt testified before a congressional hearing in October 2004 that companies are using the agency not as a last resort, but by design. For all these reasons, the poverty rate among senior citizens is climbing alarmingly. Don't let yourself become a part of that statistic.
