PBGC has announced 2020 premium rates for single-employer and multiemployer plans. The rates for both types of plans are indexed to reflect inflation based on changes in the national average wage index (as issued by the Social Security Administration). Note that the rates for single-employer plans for the years 2015 through 2019 were set by law (see our FYI Alert from November 2, 2015 ).
