I hope that you and your families are enjoying a wonderful holiday season. It appears that our friends at the PBGC are in full celebration mode as the weekly update has yet to be posted to their website (PBGC.gov). I know that they remain incredibly busy given the roughly 124 plans that are either in the process of having applications reviewed or still waiting to submit an application seeking Special Financial Assistance (SFA).

I’ll provide an update when one becomes available. In the meantime, I hope that we all have a joyful, healthy, and prosperous New Year in 2026.
