A deed well done: Pensions protected

Let me brag. The Pension Rights Center, where I serve on the board, has just helped participants in a so-called church plan achieve justice. The Pension Rights Center did not do this alone; former employees and retirees as well as the Internal Revenue Service and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) played important roles. This is a good-guys versus bad-guys story, and the good guys won. This outcome doesn’t happen often, so we should tout success when it occurs.
