Consumer Agenda for Retirement Security

Initiative #2: Empower workers to promote their own retirement security

F. Coordinate efforts between the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) and AoA Pension Counseling Projects.

The Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation does not provide counsel or other formal assistance to participants appealing a denial of their PBGC benefits.  The AoA Pension Counseling programs can provide assistance to such participants.  The Administration should direct the PBGC and the AoA to enter into a memorandum of understanding to ensure that individuals have access to assistance when appealing a PBGC benefit denial.
