AI Summary
This bill would boost pension payments for certain Delphi-related pension plans. It tells the federal pension agency to pay retirees and beneficiaries the full amount they earned in their plan (their “full vested” benefit), not the lower amount normally guaranteed after a plan ends . It also orders a one-time catch-up payment for past underpayments within 180 days, with extra money added to reflect about 6% yearly interest . People covered by a 1999 General Motors “top‑up” deal are not eligible .
A special Treasury fund would be created to make these payments, with money provided as needed. The federal pension agency would handle recalculations and could issue rules to carry this out .
- Covered plans include: Delphi Hourly-Rate Employees, Delphi Salaried, PHI Non‑Bargaining, ASEC Manufacturing, PHI Bargaining, and Delphi Mechatronic Systems retirement plans .
| Who is affected | What changes | When |
|---|---|---|
| Retirees and beneficiaries in the listed Delphi-related pension plans who are in pay status or eligible for future payments (not including those in the 1999 GM top‑up group) | Monthly payments increased to the full vested benefit; past underpayments repaid in a lump sum with ~6% interest; agency recalculates benefits and continues normal review process | Catch-up lump sums paid no later than 180 days after the law takes effect; ongoing monthly payments adjusted as soon as practicable thereafter |
