Section
302(f) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (‘‘ERISA’’)
and section 412(n) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (‘‘Code’’) impose
a lien in favor of an underfunded singleemployer plan that is covered by the
termination insurance program if (1) any
person fails to make a required payment
when due, and (2) the unpaid balance
of that payment (including interest),
when added to the aggregate unpaid
balance of all preceding payments for
which payment was not made when due
(including interest), exceeds $1 million.
(For this purpose, a plan is underfunded
if its funded current liability percentage
is less than 100 percent.) The lien is
upon all property and rights to property
belonging to the person or persons who
are liable for required contributions (i.e.,
a contributing sponsor and each
member of the controlled group of
which that contributing sponsor is a
member).
Only the PBGC (or, at its direction,
the plan’s contributing sponsor or a
member of the same controlled group)
may perfect and enforce this lien.
Therefore, ERISA and the Code require
persons committing payment failures to
notify the PBGC within 10 days of the
due date whenever there is a failure to
make a required payment and the total
of the unpaid balances (including
interest) exceeds $1 million.
PBGC Form 200, Notice of Failure to
Make Required Contributions, and
related filing instructions, implement
the statutory notification requirement.
Submission of Form 200 is required by
29 CFR 4043.81.

payment of benefits to plan participants

unreasonable increases in its losses.
