An understanding of the types of plans and the risks associated with each will assist the individual pensioner with making a proper analysis of the safety of his/her-plan and acquaint the pensioner with the role of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBCG) in safeguarding pension assets.
