The Committee did invaluable work in shining light on this looming catastrophe and bringing a diverse group of stakeholders together to discuss solutionsto bring much-needed certainty and relief to worried pensioners. But there remains an urgent need to act. The PBGC will run out of funds by 2025 and millions of retirees pensions will be at risk sooner than that. Our to-do list only grows longer as wecontinue our work to find a solution that protects pensions workers have earned, gives employers the certainty they need, and puts the entire multiemployer system on solid footing going forward. Pension Select Committee Co-Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) announced a commitment to keep working toward a solution to fix the pension crisis despite not meeting the November 30 deadline. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
