| | Pension - Factbites |
 | | Pensions have traditionally been payments made in the form of a guaranteed annuity (Income from capital investment paid in a series of regular payments) to a retired or disabled employee, or to a deceased employee's spouse, children, or other beneficiary. | | | Pensions for federal employees were authorized in 1920. | | | When the pension plan is a defined contribution plan with individual accounts (e.g., a 401(k) plan, a thrift or savings plan), a participant's pension is equal to the amount in his or her account. |

| | Pension Promises Broken |
| | Pension funds are required to calculate how much cash they need on hand today to pay future promised monthly payments. | | | Although their long-term funding is not in jeopardy, multiemployer pension trustees face the possibility that they will have to cut benefits or increase employers’contributions to the plans to meet the technical funding requirements, a move that could bankrupt some of the companies. | | | While the PBGC’s total deficit for single employer pension plans increased to $23.3 billion in fiscal year 2004, up from $11.2 billion a year earlier, the PBGC is not going broke. |

| | In aggregate, the companies in the S&P 500 have a pension underfunding of more than $239 billion, an amount of liability that is neither represented on their income nor their balance statements. | | | The company you hold, or the one you are analyzing, may have an enormous pension liability that you cannot see on the balance sheet or income statement, but is instead buried in the footnotes. | | | For regardless of whether or not pension liabilities appear on the balance sheet, they will eventually need to be paid. |

| | Pension woes strain federal insurer - PittsburghLIVE.com |
| | Congress is considering pension reform legislation to prop up the pension insurer, get companies to fund their plans and provide workers and regulators with more information about their retirement plans. | | | The pension insurer faces a $23 billion shortfall in its single-employer defined benefit pension plan, which pays retirees age 65 or older a maximum of $3,800 per month if their plan is terminated this year. | | | Legislators are seeking pension reform because the federal pension insurer could run out of cash in five years, Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., chairman of the Senate budget committee, said at a recent hearing. |

| | TomPaine.com - The Disappearing Pension |
| | And earlier this month, when a court allowed United Airlines to dump its four employee pensions onto the government —the largest pension-plan default in U.S. corporate history—there was a blip of interest. Soon it was forgotten, except by the 134,000 workers who will lose an average of 25 to 50 percent of the value of their pensions. | | | Here are the amazing numbers: the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), the government agency that is supposed to protect the private pension system, recently estimated that the amount of money currently owed to cover pension liabilities is $450 billion; 851 pension plans are underfunded by at least $50 million. | | | At the same time, huge salary and pension benefits are lavished on executives. Remember, pensions are deferred compensation—people put off getting money in their paychecks today because of a promise that they would receive a specific amount of money (hence, the term “defined benefit”) many years later. |

| | When a bishop confers a benefice, he is not allowed to burden its collation with a pension to be paid to himself, as this would be a simoniacal transaction. | | | In its ordinary acceptation, however, it does not connote the bestowal of a benefice, but refers to the money paid, for a certain time, to a third person from the fruits of a benefice belonging to another, acting under the authorization of an ecclesiastical superior. | | | As to the bishop, or anyone inferior to the pope, he may not, generally speaking, impose a perpetual pension on a benefice or increase one already existing, nor may he, in conferring a benefice, make a reservation of a pension to be paid to a third party. |
