Description

Recent municipal bankruptcies have called into question the sanctity of accrued pension benefits regarding fiscal distress in plan Sponsors.

The cities of Detroit, MI and Stockton, CA have recently emerged from Chapter 9 with different approaches towards accrued retiree benefits. Puerto Rico is expected to address its accrued pension liabilities as part of its imminent financial restructuring.  This webcast will explore the nature of municipal bankruptcy proceedings under U.S. law and its potential impact on accrued pension benefits.
