Annual Certification for Multiemployer Defined Benefit Plans

Section 432(b)(3)(A) requires an actuarial certification of whether a multiemployer plan is in endangered status, and whether a multiemployer plan is or will be in critical status, for each plan year. This certification must be completed by the 90th day of the plan year and must be provided to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the plan sponsor. If the certification is with respect to a plan year that is within the plan’s funding improvement period or rehabilitation period arising from a prior certification of endangered or critical status, the actuary must also certify whether the plan is making scheduled progress in meeting the requirements of its funding improvement or rehabilitation plan.
