GAO Reports: TARP and Automaker Pension Funding

by on

Troubled Asset Relief Program: Automaker Pension Funding and Multiple Federal Roles Pose Challenges for the Future, GAO-10-492, April 06, 2010:

  • “Over $81 billion has been committed under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to improve the domestic auto industry’s competitiveness and long-term viability. The bulk of this assistance has gone to General Motors (GM) and Chrysler, who sponsor some of the largest defined benefit pension plans insured by the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). As part of GAO’s statutorily mandated oversight of TARP, this report examines:
    (1) the impact of restructuring on GM’s and Chrysler’s pension plans;
    (2) the impact of restructuring on auto supply sector pension plans;
    (3) the impacts on PBGC and plan participants should auto industry pension plans be terminated; and
    (4) how the federal government is dealing with the potential tensions of its multiple roles as pension regulator, shareholder, and creditor.”
