PBGC Issues Final Regulations on Flat-Rate Premiums for Large Plans

The PBGC issued final regulations on “Payment of Premiums; Large-Plan Flat-Rate Premium”. The regulations move the flat-rate premium due date for large plans to October 15th; the same date as the variable-rate premium due date. This change is effective beginning with the 2014 plan year.

The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) urged the PBGC in a comment letter to streamline the flat-rate and variable-rate premiums when the PBGC proposed this change.
