  • Plan Notices

    Notice to Travelers Regarding Defined Benefit Plan Contributions (February 2022) — The Southern California IBEW-NECA Pension Plan was certified by its Actuary on September 28, 2021 that the Plan is in endangered status for the Plan Year beginning July 1, 2021. The Plan�s Co-Actuaries determined that the Plan emerged from Critical status for the Plan Year beginning July 1, 2018 and was in Endangered status for the Plan Year beginning July 1, 2018. Federal Law requires pension plans in Endangered status to adopt a Funding Improvement Plan ("FIP") aimed at improving the financial health of the Plan. The Plan was certified to be in Critical Status for the 2016 Plan Year and as required, the Board of Trustees adopted a Rehabilitation Plan with multiple schedules. The Trustees, working with the Plan Actuary, determined that the provisions of the Rehabilitation Plan are currently sufficient to meet the requirements of a �FIP� and those schedules are being continued under the October 21, 2021 Funding Improvement Plan Update. Consequently, there are no further benefit reductions or contribution increases beyond those contained within the September 26, 2016 Rehabilitation Plan, as amended, which contained two categories of Schedules.

    Notice to Travelers Regarding Defined Benefit Plan Contributions (Feb 2013) — On October 20, 2009, the Board of Trustees adopted a Rehabilitation Plan consisting of a Default Schedule, Alternative Schedule 1 and Alternative Schedule 2. The contributing employers and the membership of the IBEW Local Unions participating in the Southern California IBEW-NECA Pension Plan (Local Unions 11, 440, 441 and 477) entered into Alternative Schedule 2 of the Rehabilitation Plan.
