Pension & Annuity Watch

Track US pensions and annuities. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: lump-sum windows, buyout offers, plan freezes, terminations and annuity transfers at employers with 5,000 or more participants, with election deadlines; PBGC premium, guarantee and multiemployer plan status changes; public pension cost-of-living adjustments, contribution and benefit rule changes by state; immediate and fixed annuity payout rate moves of 0.25 points or more and rating changes at Athene, Corebridge, MassMutual, New York Life, Nationwide, Lincoln, Prudential, Brighthouse, F&G, Jackson and TIAA; and Department of Labor and IRS rules on plan fees, fiduciary advice and rollovers. Prefer plan sponsor notices, PBGC, state retirement systems, insurer rate sheets, AM Best and established retirement reporting; ignore annuity sales marketing. Put the employer, plan or insurer first in the title with the deadline. Use high severity for a lump-sum window closing within 30 days, a plan termination, or a rating downgrade. Return no more than 5 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, the choice, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
