PBGC takes over St. Joseph Health Services' underfunded pension plan, securing benefits for 2,500 retirees.
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) will assume control of the underfunded St. Joseph Health Services of Rhode Island Retirement Plan, covering about 2,500 current and future retirees. The plan, with $47 million in assets and $135 million in liabilities, became underfunded after the hospital ceased operations in 2014. The PBGC's involvement follows the IRS declaring the plan tax-qualified in 2017. Current retirees will continue to receive benefits, while future retirees can apply upon eligibility. This move ends a decade of uncertainty for the pension holders.
