In the wake of the $9 billion United Airlines pension default, the U.S. House of Representatives proposed a bill which would increase the funding requirements for pensions, and require more disclosure to employees. The Pension Protection Act of 2005 (H.R. 2830) would also shore up the ailing Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp., which was hit hard by United's default. The bill also strives to help employers estimate their pension liabilities more accurately.
