(A) In general.—For purposes of determining what benefits
are guaranteed under section 4022 of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1322) with respect to
an eligible participant or beneficiary under a covered plan
specified in paragraph (4) in connection with the termination
of such plan, the amount of monthly benefits shall be equal
to the full vested plan benefit with respect to the
participant.
(B) No effect on previous determinations.—Nothing in this
Act shall be construed to change the allocation of assets and
recoveries under sections 4044(a) and 4022(c) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1344(a);
1322(c)) as previously determined by the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation (referred to in this section as the
“corporation”) for the covered plans specified in paragraph
(4), and the corporation's applicable rules, practices, and
policies on benefits payable in terminated single-employer
plans shall, except as otherwise provided in this section,
continue to apply with respect to such covered plans.
(2) Recalculation of certain benefits.—
(A) In general.—In any case in which the amount of monthly
benefits with respect to an eligible participant or
beneficiary described in paragraph (1) was calculated prior
to the date of enactment of this Act, the corporation shall
recalculate such amount pursuant to paragraph (1), and shall
adjust any subsequent payments of such monthly benefits
accordingly, as soon as practicable after such date.
(B) Lump-sum payments of past-due benefits.—Not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the
corporation, in consultation with the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Secretary of Labor, shall make a lump-sum
payment to each eligible participant or beneficiary whose
guaranteed benefits are recalculated under subparagraph (A)
in an amount equal to—
(i) in the case of an eligible participant, the excess of—
(I) the total of the full vested plan benefits of the
participant for all months for which such guaranteed benefits
were paid prior to such recalculation, over
(II) the sum of any applicable payments made to the
eligible participant; and
(ii) in the case of an eligible beneficiary, the sum of—
(I) the amount that would be determined under clause (i)
with respect to the participant of which the eligible
beneficiary is a beneficiary if such participant were still
in pay status; plus
(II) the excess of—
(aa) the total of the full vested plan benefits of the
eligible beneficiary for all months for which such guaranteed
benefits were paid prior to such recalculation, over
(bb) the sum of any applicable payments made to the
eligible beneficiary.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the corporation shall
increase each lump-sum payment made under this clause to
account for foregone interest in an amount determined by the
corporation designed to reflect a 6 percent annual interest
rate on each past-due amount attributable to the underpayment
of guaranteed benefits for each month prior to such
recalculation.
