Understanding Pension Shortfalls: Causes & Impact
A pension shortfall occurs when there is not a sufficient
amount of money in the pension plan to cover the obligations to the
employees of the company. When a defined benefit plan is set up,
employees of a company are told that they will receive a specific
amount of money for a fixed number of years of service. When employees
reach the appropriate number of years, they are supposed to be able to
get a fixed benefit. However, during a pension shortfall, there will
not be enough money from the plan to pay for the retirement benefits of
the employees.
