The 2016 Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) Comprehensive Premium Filing Instructions (including the illustrative form) have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and are now available on PBGC’s website.
The instructions include information about what’s new, who must file, when and how to file, as well as helpful instructions for how to fill out the form.
The agency expects that the My Plan Administration Account (My PAA) system to electronically submit pension plan premium filings and payments will be ready to accept 2016 filings in January, and will post a notice about what’s new for practitioners at that time.
