State & Local Government Pension Plans - Regulation & Risk (Hardcover)

Controversy has arisen over the funded status of many state and local government pension plans. It has been reported that several of these plans have not fully funded their future obligations and they could face substantial future shortfalls. While there is considerable debate over the extent and the possible causes of these shortfalls, some estimates have placed the combined unfunded liabilities anywhere from hundreds of billions of dollars to over $3 trillion. Governments facing investment losses combined with lower revenues are looking at ways to address these shortfalls and protect their fiscal stability. This book provides an overview of how public pension plans are regulated at the federal and state level and discusses selected legal issues that may arise in attempting to remedy or prevent public pension plan underfunding.
