Susan Muffley Act — Delphi Pension Benefit Restoration
Current understanding
The Susan Muffley Act of 2025 is introduced legislation that would direct the PBGC to restore full vested monthly pension benefits to participants in Delphi Corporation pension plans whose benefits were reduced when the plans were terminated during GM’s 2009 bankruptcy. The bill also provides for lump-sum back payments covering the shortfall between guaranteed and full-vested benefits since termination. Status: introduced; targeted remedy rather than a structural change to PBGC guarantee limits.
